Commercial Metal Stud Framing

Rating:
Summary: Not for neophytes
Review: Despite the reviews and the suggestive title, this book will NOT provide a grounding in metal framing for those wishing to convert from traditional skills. Designers/architects will learn nothing regarding metal framing compared to wood framing. Little or nothing in the way of loading is provided. This book may have tips for seasoned experts but it certainly assumes that you come to the table with plenty of metal framing experience.

Summary: Commercial Metal Framing
Review: I am a foreman for a Drywall/Metal framing company. I bought this book to pick up a few tips here and there. This book was a great help to me. It explains everything in detail. Again the detail in this book is excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone getting started in metal framing, and to anyone looking to pick up some tips.

Summary: One of the best professional how-to books I've ever read
Review: Ray Clark's "Commercial Metal Stud Framing" is a thorough, detailed, and very clearly worded manual. This is one of, if not the best, professional how-to book I have ever read. Clark has a real talent for narrative explanation, mixing technical terms (always clearly defined) and informal jargon (also well-defined) to lead you through the many processes that this craft requires. There are lots of photos, and they are well-integrated into the narrative. This has been a great learning experience for me.
