Pros in carpentry and roof cutting say this is the best guide to cutting rafters for any gable, hip, gambrel, or gazebo roof.
Wow! What a time saver! I’ve gone from building complex roofs with string lines and prayers, to cutting all the roof components on the ground.
Terry Maike, Master Framer Atlanta, Georgia
I'm a very experienced and highly trained union carpenter, and trust me, this guide is a must! It's one of the very best there is. It's got all the info. on cuts 3/12 through 16/12, tables for "irregular" hip roofs 4/12 through 16/12. THE BEST are the tables for 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 sided polygon roofs!!! It also has guides for the layout of the trickiest elements like arches, ellipses, non-centered ridges, and math guides. It is amazing! This is the best guide book we've found!

I have been a framer for 16 years and this book has been useful on most of the houses I build. Not only does it have all the standard rafter tables, but the irregular combinations as well. It is very easy to understand and gives all the needed formulas. A MUST have for any framer.

I am a residential framer and I use my Roof Framer's Bible almost every day especially when I am framing complicated houses. Circular stairs, conventional rafters, round bays, all the calculations and tips are there for you. I have been framing for about 20 years and it is one of the essential tools I use on the site. I am on my 4th copy as the others have been gradually destroyed by weather (and one was stolen). This is the best, most useful, framing book I've seen.

If roof framing has always been “magic”, this book shares the secrets. I've always known that roofs are no more than triangles, but the trigonometry was too complex. This book saves your calculator batteries and reduces the roof to a series of arithmetic calculations. I work with a Habitat for Humanity affiliate. We use volunteer labor to build and this book will cut our roofing costs by 50%.

We ordered a few of these for reference for the owner and employees. They are finding the book easy to follow and extremely informative

An absolute must for every framer, estimator, and architect. The Roof Framer’s Bible is the answer to controlling labor and material costs on today’s difficult roof lines. A much needed contribution to the industry.
