The Very Efficient Carpenter: Basic Framing for Residential Construction

"The Very Efficient Carpenter" has been an invaluable resource for my DIY projects. The detailed explanations and step-by-step instructions have significantly improved my carpentry skills, especially in basic framing for residential construction. What I appreciate most is the clear and concise writing style. It's easy to follow, making complex concepts more understandable. The illustrations complement the text perfectly, providing a visual aid that enhances the learning experience. The book covers everything from tools and materials to specific techniques for framing walls, floors, and roofs. This comprehensive approach has given me the confidence to tackle projects I would have previously deemed too challenging. On the downside, the book is quite dense with information. While this is a plus for thoroughness, it can be a bit overwhelming at first glance. However, breaking it down into manageable sections helped me digest the content more effectively. The practical tips and professional insights have been incredibly helpful. They offer real-world applications and solutions to common problems, which is a huge benefit for a DIYer like me. This book has truly elevated my carpentry game, making my projects more efficient and professional-looking. It's a must-have for anyone serious about improving their carpentry skills.

Good product, quick shipment

Use this book in concert with this guy’s you tube videos. He will instruct you to frame a simple house from start to finish. The book breaks down the steps and provides great pictures and illustrations. Very helpful reference material for a carpenter or a DIY house builder.

This is my favourite framing book, because Larry explains all the details very well like the different ways to make headers. It answered a lot of questions I had like how to join a partition wall to an external wall. I was afraid it would be full of filler actually it has every detail you need to know. this would be my go to reference book I would grab if building anything.

Didn't come in great condition. Still a good book.

I heard about LarryHaun from Dave Whipple and his you tube channel Bushradical. Larry Haun was a master. Before you build anything give this book a shot. Tons of time saving tricks. Clearly explains lot of detail regarding construction. The section on stairs is worth the price alone. Larry’s series on YouTube pretty much follows this book. Nice to reference them both. From DIY to Pro this book is useful. Liked it so much got a copy for my brother. Now we’re ready to build our off grid cabins the right way.

This was a gift for my stepson and he absolutely loved it. He has his own construction company and had heard about this book and we knew he wanted it. Perfect holiday present.

This is a very informative book with no nonsense. Everything written in this book is relevant to the world of carpentry real world applications to framing a house from foundation, interior and exterior components. I have been a carpenter all of my adult.life and started learning from late grade school age. I am 54 now and this book reminds me of how we used to work. This is as real as it gets.

Buena calidad del producto

Combined with the movie Larry, this is an excellent foundation for a budding carpenter. For me, efficiency is paramount, and I still refer to both the book and the movie.

Simply the best book on frame carpentry ever. Haun is of course a master, but this book is everything you want a carpentry book to be. Detailed information, pictures, tips and tricks, the whole deal. Buy it!

excellent work
