Homebuilding Basics: Carpentry is the essential manual for anyone who isn't fortunate enough to have a carpentry teacher as wise and knowledgeable as Larry Haun. With close to 50 years of production framing experience, Haun offers newcomers to the trade smart ways to build efficiently, accurately, and safely. It's the only current book with complete coverage of basic carpentry techniques. Beginning carpenters, vocational teachers, and homeowners will find step-by-step instructions, clear illustrations, color photographs, and drawings on every aspect of building.

Larry Haun has worked as a carpenter in southern California for four decades and has been a Habitat for Humanity volunteer since the 1980s. He has taught apprentice carpenters at a local community college for more than 20 years. Larry lives in coastal Oregon, where he continues to build houses for Habitat.
Haun, a carpenter with nearly 50 years of experience who still volunteers for Habitat for Humanity, has produced an excellent guide that will prove useful to amateurs and professional carpenters alike. Haun's pleasant and informative writing style makes readers feel as if they are working by his side, just like the apprentices he has trained for more than two decades. Sections cover both hand and power tools plus numerous skills such as framing and stairbuilding. The instructions are presented in a clear, step-by-step manner, and the illustrations and numerous color photographs are excellent. Those needing a truly basic title may want to consider Step-by-Step Basic Carpentry (Better Homes & Gardens, 1997); however, Haun's book is preferred because of the wealth of personal experience he provides. The first in Taunton's new "Homebuilding Basics" series, this superb title is recommended for all public libraries.AJonathan N. Hershey, Akron-Summit Cty. P.L.
