5.0 out of 5 stars Only book you need, June 5, 2005
By 
Douglas J. Mouser "turkis" (United States of America) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been in construction for about 5 years, and almost all of the roofs I have worked on are truss roofs. I am interested in getting into roof cutting/stacking, so I have been buying a few books. But this is the only book you need. Everything is explained very well, with a lot of pictures. And he gives a lot of techniques that can be used. The author himself used to be a production roof cutter, one of the best in the business. Out of all the roof framing books, the only other one I have bought that I plan on keeping is the roof framer's bible. It is a very handy little book to have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look no further!, February 26, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is the best book currently available on roof cutting. It is enhanced through the authors extensive experience and inspirational passion for his craft. It is written for those who already have an understanding of framing and would like to grow in their knowledge. The layout makes it an easy to use quick reference guide for the particular aspects one might wish to inform themselves about on any given day.
I was impressed and encouraged by Will Holladay after purchasing his book. He showed me the joy, the satisfaction, and the excellence that can be achieved by doing what one was created to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is a Must Have for RoofCutters, November 27, 2004
By 
Tim Uhler (Port Orchard, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This is a must have book for roof framing. The drawings and principles are layed out very well and as cleanly as you can for a book like this. It covers just about every roof framing situation you will likely encounter, and the principles and techniques will help you solve the ones that aren't covered.

If you are serious about learning to cut and stack roofs, then buy this book. Or if you are like me, buy a few and give them to your framers.
