A set of tables for cut lengths
|
This book contains a set of tables that define the cut lengths of
timbers (metric/imperial) for simple trusses for roofs of different
pitch. Essentially a set of simple "trig" tables scaled for length.
It does not, however, contain any data on timber thickness for cut
roofs of different dimensions - lengths only - which is key to cut
roof design.

Its A Tool as Much As a Book
|
The Roofing Ready Reckoner is not just a book but a specialist tool for any carpenter that has to put on a cut roof, and Mr. Goss makes it so simple that almost anyone could cut a roof from the instructions and tables in the book.
As a carpenter for over 42 years and having to put on cut roofs using the steel square this book has made my life easier as it will for anyone that buys it. The only thing that someone must be aware of when purchasing the book is that they will have to buy a protractor to set their bevels as unlike the older publications that had a protractor provided.
