Description:

The original 1989 version of A Roof Cutter's Secrets for the original 1989 price. A reference guide for the experienced carpenter. Explains rake walls, tall walls, plumb and line, production methods of gang cutting rafters, stacking roofs, unequal-pitch situations, beam trusses, tower construction, stairs building and much more. Written by a California building contractor who specialized in framing large custom homes. This original version of A Roof Cutter’s Secrets (RCS) was first published in 1989 and was in print for some 10 years until the print master was unfortunately lost. The revised version of RCS, published by The Journal of Light Construction in 2002 and onward was its replacement. That book is a true masterpiece in the art of roof framing and nearly twice the size of the original. It included many new advanced topics and provided much expanded explanations for the 1989 “mainstay” subjects. While most carpenters consider the current JLC version an essential resource, there are still many folks who desire a copy of the simple, old, rustic, “hand sketched” original edition. To satisfy those folks we have brought the original 1989 version back to life by applying the latest digital scan technology. While the original RCS doesn’t have the flair, detail, completeness and professionalism that the JLC version has, she nonetheless does a good job of covering all the truly “need to know” framing subjects in a uniquely useful KISS fashion. If you plan to purchase this book as text to accompany The Complicated Roof – A Cut and Stack Workbook (2009), it unfortunately will not correlate. For this purpose you must use the revised version published by The Journal of Light Construction from 2002 and onward.
