5.0 out of 5 stars A small book with all you need to know, February 8, 2000

Gerald Polmateer (Wellton, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Full Length Roof Framer (Library Binding)

The was the first book that I bought on the subject of cutting a roof. The examples on laying out a roof are excellent. The nice thing about this book is that you can put it in your shirt pocket. I learned to cut a roof from the examples given in this book. I have used this book for about 25 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full Length Roof Framer, February 5, 2000

Billy Lindsey (Beaumont, Texas, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Full Length Roof Framer (Library Binding)

A must for every framer. It gives all your lengths on every 1/2 pitch calculated from the span instead of the run,so there's hardly any math involved. it also gives the application of all your basic rafter layouts. Don't cut a roof without it.
