As a carpenter of 40 years , I can say confidently that if you use the Roof Framer's Bible to frame EVERY roof , roof framing will become " Mussell " memory (hehe) . See what I did there Barry ? I'm serious folks , it's called a "bible" because it is a "reference" book . Forget about any sacrilegious chatter , the book doesn't besmerch the Holy Bible as some of my co-workers pointed out . The title of the book actually pays homage to the purpose of the Holy Bible in that it should always be at hand , and always be referred to . Buy a copy , and frame your " first ever " perfect roof . Enjoy . Robert from Canada !
That's good Robert. I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, I have gotten that response about "Bible" through the years. Bible really just means "book". So, Holy Bible means Holy book. In modern use Bible has come to mean "the definitive reference". I wanted Roof Framer's Bible to be the definitive reference for roof framing. For 30 years now I think it has a claim to having achieved that. Thanks for watching!
@@RoofFramersBible No problem brother Barry . Credit where credit is due !!! By the way , we are more than carpenters . We are what I like to call "practical mathematicians" . And the God of carpentry is Pythagoras .
This is like a an encyclopedia salesman telling you "this internet thing is just a fad. buy my encyclopedias so you know you're getting the real answers"
Ha! That's funny. I guess it might come across that way. There isn't anything wrong with the calculators. I have used both, but I prefer the book. I just find it faster. Thanks for watching.
"Who could possibly remember all of those key strokes?" i'm pretty sure that if framers can remember how to put their shoes on in the morning, they can remember how to press 3 extra buttons, especially considering their job depends on it.
I'm glad your memory is better than mine. Some parts of roof framing are complicated. If you don't do it everyday you forget the details and have to pull out their tiny instruction booklet to get the key strokes. Thanks for watching!
