Usually ships in 1 business days | | | | | | This is the complete guide to framing any gable, Dutch, Tudor, California, gambrel, shed or gazebo roof -- including irregular roofs that can stump even experienced roof cutters. The author takes you through every measurement and every cut on each type of roof -- so you understand exactly what's required. He actually builds a model of each roof described, and recommends that you do the same.
With this manual you aren't restricted to rafter lengths and pitches listed in those rafter tables that roof cutters have struggled with for years. Instead, the author explains how to use an inexpensive hand-held calculator to figure any common, hip, valley or jack rafter in seconds -- including rafters on irregular roofs and rafter pitches that aren't in any rafter table.
Anyone who knows the methods described in this practical manual should have no trouble making a good living as a master roof cutter. | | | |

 Review: Roof Framing by Marshall Gross - Quality issue Jul 21, 2010
I would give this book the lowest possible quality rating. Pages literally started falling out one day after I started reading it. I tried taping those pages back to the binding, but additional pages kept falling out. I was frankly a little disguted to say the least. I guess that's the risk with paperback books. Doubt I'll buy anymore paperbacks from Amazon.

 You Can Dooooooooo-it!! Oct 20, 2008
I didn't have a clue about roof framing, and this book really helped. The math is pretty easy if you start at the beginning, and it felt good to clean some cobwebs out of the old math center in my brain. I have a flat roof and would like to replace it with a pitched roof, and even if I don't actually swing the hammer, I can now at least write the plans and order the materials. It was even fun to do the problems in the book.

Awesome Book Aug 17, 2008
Heavy in math and technical theory but if you really want to understand roofing principles and methods, this is a good reference. I went from a $14 an hour framer to a $17 an hour framer. (With a little practice) Back in 2003

Roof Framing by Marshall Gross Sep 22, 2006
I probably have 6 books on the steel square from as far back as 1904. They are wonderful examples of just how ingenious workman were at that time. They relied on the steel square for all of their framing problems. Mr. Gross adds his modern day interpretation using the calculator and the result is a very good treatise on framing from an expert. Each new chapter builds on the last and he encourages the reader to build models as your skills progress. Recommended!
