That is so easy. December 28, 2008
After watching this DVD I felt like someone who had discovered the magicians secret. Well put together, excellent video work, excellent explanations.
If you want to build a shed or a house this is the DVD to get.

I spent a lazy saturday afternoon watching this video for some knowledge of construction. I am interested in doing light handyman, remodeling work at my house, so this video was definitely beyond my knowledge. But I decided, why not learn something new. What I saw were two old guys framing a one story house and they were very fast in what they did, but very accurate and knowledgeable. After I watched the video I did a google search of the authors and found out the older brother was born around 1930 and has been doing framing work for all his life. The guy is a PRO. Anyone looking to do framing work should take a look at this video. For someone with absolutely no knowledge, this video may be a bit complicated. The video is more suited for someone with some "hands on" work, and some carpentry skills. 5 stars.
So, you want to build a house? Watch and Learn how here. November 16, 2005

"Framing Walls" by Larry Haun, is the second DVD in a three-part carpentry series that will teach you how to build your own home. Part One is titled "Framing Floors," and Part Three is titled, "Framing Roofs." Each part in this series teaches you the skills necessary to build a home of your own. This DVD edition is a great asset to this classic VHS collection because it allows you to quickly move from one building selection to another, or to review a topic.
As a carpenter myself, I've had many homeowners ask me if it was hard to learn the carpentry trade, or to build a home. My answer is pretty simple: "It's for sure not as hard as you may think, if someone is there teaching you the skills." And that my friend, is what you will get when you watch this DVD. As a matter of fact, you will have a master carpentry teacher with decades of experience pointing out each step of the building process in easy to understand everyday language.
I also recommend owning the book titled, "The Very Efficient Carpenter," by Larry Haun as a companion to this DVD series because there are sections that Larry goes into more detail in the book. However, the bottom line is this: You can learn to build your own home by watching an experienced carpenter do it first, then doing it on your own. All it takes is a little confidence in yourself. You can do it.
