Summary: BUY THIS BOOK!
Review: buy this book, i read it and laughed the whole way through it, this guy proves you get what you pay for!! this would be an excellent book to get to see what you should NOT do. sometimes it helps to see what you shouldnt do, learn from mistakes you know. the only reason i gave it 1 star was because this site wont let me give nothing.

Summary: Book is a Classic in the Field
Review: I've looked at many books on different trades and all the books I could find on framing. This is easily the best. Mark Currie gives you the details you need, and he gives them to you in a clear and understandable way. His book covers basic to advanced topics. It's well-organized, has lots of good illustrations, and doesn't waste your time on information you don't need. Mark Currie clearly knows what he's talking about and knows how to explain things well. This is the best book to have on framing.

Summary: Rough Framing Carpentry
Review: If you are a young framer and you feel like you are being held back by the older more knowledgeable carpenters on your crew, buy this book! It covers all phases of the framing process including roof cutting and stair building. The pros and cons of working for your self as a "piece worker" or working "hourly" for the framing contractor is also discussed. Lots of infomation on how to cut production time using simple yet effective methods is seemingly on every page. The book is organized so that each chapter discusses one part or phase of the framing process and what you can expect to get paid. This book transformed me from a grunt on a framing crew making bread and water wages to a piece worker making journyman's wage in one season.
