A Roof Cutter's Secrets To Framing the Custom Home 4th Edition
Here is your chance to own the latest edition of A Roof Cutter’s Secrets (Fourth Edition, 2023)—a book widely credited with revolutionizing modern home framing. Since the late 1980s, it has been the trusted go-to reference for rough carpenters, remaining unrivaled in both popularity and relevance.
Across 350 pages of clear, concise instruction—supported by over 300 drawings and photos—professional roof cutter Will Holladay distills a lifetime of rough carpentry experience. He shares speed and production techniques from his days as a roof cutter and stacker in 1970s Los Angeles housing tracts, complex custom framing methods from his years as a high-end contractor on California’s Central Coast in the ’80s and ’90s, and hard-won lessons from arcane and unusual challenges he’s tackled since the 2000s as a framing consultant.
In classic KISS format, Will delivers the essential how-to principles for conquering nearly any complex framing challenge. From steep hillside underpinning and plate detailing to plumb-and-line issues and beam work; from conventional roofs to unequal-pitch variations; from bastard intersections to polygonal and round roofs; from eyebrow dormers to hanging fascia; from simple stair layouts to elaborate circular staircases; from pop-out bay windows to chandelier domes—it’s all here. You’ll find situations covered nowhere else.
The sheer volume of information packed into this book is truly remarkable. A special section at the end is dedicated to applying the Construction Master Calculator to the very scenarios presented throughout.
A Roof Cutter’s Secrets is one resource you’ll want to keep in your toolbox. Whether you’re an apprentice, journeyman, foreman, supervisor, contractor, or architect, you’re sure to pick up new techniques and methods that will boost job site productivity and elevate the quality of your finished work.
