Review: Essential Guide for DIY Carpentry - "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.
Review: GOT MY COPY-Finally! - I have scoured the internet looking for inside pictures of this book BEFORE buying and I had very little luck. Even went to the library but it was checked out for the next 3-5wks. Wanting to DYI building my own Barndo is hard enough but then having everyone say this is one of the best books out there but provide no inside look of what I was going to buy was daunting. So I purchased it & provide you with what I didn’t have! Conclusion: I have a feeling I will be using this book a lot in the coming months ahead & maybe even years ahead on my self-sufficiency journey. I hope these pictures give you insight. This book is informative and the author breaks down complex concepts in very everyday terms. I absolutely LOVE how detailed the pictures are. It is definitely worth the buy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for novice framing

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.
