About this title

About the Author:

Floyd Vogt is a sixth-generation carpenter and contractor. His family operated a small business devoted to all phases of home construction, and he began working in the family business at age 15. After completing a B.A. in chemistry at the State University of New York College at Oneonta, Mr. Vogt returned to the field as a self-employed remodeler. In 1985 he began teaching in the carpentry program at the State University of New York, Delhi. He has taught many courses, including light framing, advanced framing, math, energy-efficient construction, finish carpentry, finish masonry, and estimating. Mr. Vogt is currently a professor emeritus in the construction design-build management bachelor's degree program, where his course responsibilities included residential construction, AutoCAD, construction seminar, and physical science applications. He has also served as a carpentry regional coordinator for Skills-USA and as a post-secondary Skills-USA student advisor. Mr. Vogt is the co-author of CARPENTRY, and he is a member of a local town board.

Review:

"The organization and format of the book works well for my particular use, it builds nicely and is broken into logical sections similar to coursework taught at our college. The book is broad and thorough enough for readers to explore deeper into a given area if necessary. This book is one that I would recommend to others and it is currently the text used for two of our core first-year courses. Furthermore, students are encouraged to keep this text for use and reference during their second year as it is relevant for other courses...All in all, this book is a remarkable accomplishment."
