About this title

Synopsis

This straightforward, easy-to-learn method will help framers, carpenters, and handy homeowners build their skills in rough carpentry and framing. You'll learn how to frame all the parts of a house: floors, walls, roofs, door & window openings, and stairs – with hundreds of color photographs and drawings that show every detail. The book gives beginners all the basics they need to go from zero framing knowledge to a journeyman level, and it provides valuable tips and tables for the experienced carpenter.

Start with the basics. The book begins with types of lumber, nails, and what tools are needed, followed by detailed, fully illustrated steps for framing each building element – from planning and layout through specific nailing patterns. Framer-Friendly Tips throughout the book show how to get a task done right – and more easily.
