 no basics Aug 28, 2003
By Chris Carter
Many of the chapters in this book are written by individual carpenters who "do things their own way". For instance, in the first chapter, the writer says to disregard previous techniques and use his method. In the 2nd and 3rd chapters, the writer talks about using power tools that are either outrageously expensive or not even avilable any more. Further, there is no discussion or summary of basic roof geometry and calculations. The tag phrase "for pros by pros" is quite misleading. It is merely 15 chapters of guys telling how THEY frame a roof. Anyone, even pro carpenters using this as a refresher, should start off with a tutorial on basic roof geometry, design, and construction methods. If you are looking for info on how to properly design and construct roof framing, don't waste your money on this one!

 where's the info Apr 05, 2003
By Noel Selewa
The rafter jig idea was great, but there just wasn't enough info and detail to actually build it (I thought). I must admit, I'am not a pro as this book "by pros for pros" claims, but I guess if I was a pro, then I would probably find the information in this book to be too elementary. This book is ok for learning roof basics, but it's not enough info and detail to fully learn all that's involved with building roofs.

 Helpfull Jan 25, 2011
By Mtn Man
"Mountain Man"
After 45 years building I have the knowlege that is in this book.
I design build. I like and need time saving short cuts.
I am way too busy to take time rememering a specific problem I solved several years ago so, having this book helps me visualize the perfect sollution without wasting time remembering and reinventing.
It is well laid out.
