5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent DVD., October 1, 2004

By 

Jim Austerman, Carpenter (Twin Cities, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Framing Roofs (DVD)

"Framing Roofs," with Larry Haun, is just one of a series of 3 DVD's that will explain, and show you exactly how to build your own home. The other two DVD's are titled, "Framing Floors & Stairs," and "Framing Walls." In this complete series, along with a book entitled "The Very Efficient Carpenter," Larry, goes into very specific detail on how to handle each step of the home-building process as you watch him and his brother Joe build a 1600 square-foot home from the foundation to the rooftop. Each DVD in this series is very well organized into different chapters. Therefore, if you need some clairificaton on nailing off the ridge and rafters, for example, it's just a matter of revisiting that chapter until you understand the concept.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just showing really fast how he does it!, September 16, 2004

This review is from: Framing Roofs (DVD)

I am a little dissapointed in this DVD. Larry shows really fast how he does it and some parts are only a series of photos. Lots of references to a book he wrote and which I don't have. Very little explanation. Not usefull and not recommended!

This review is from: Framing Roofs (DVD)

I have purchased basically everything Larry Haun ever wrote and stared in that had to do with carpentry. I learned a lot from his videos and even more from his books! The very efficient carpenter, by Larry Haun is a wonderful book full of information on building. This video will get you on target to the basics and to the intricate parts of building a house. If you buy all three videos and his book you will have a great background to build your own house. If you didn't know already, Larry Haun passed away this October 2011. When he died he was still out there at the age of 70 still showing the next generation how to frame houses! What a precious resource we lost in the skilled trades world. I'm sure you will gain a lot from this video and see how Larry can guide you through the trial and tribulations of framing a house.
