Larry Haun Framing Video Series

Article Image

There have been few professionals with as much knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm about home building as Larry Haun. Haun, the author of “The Very Efficient Carpenter,” was an expert framer, but what truly set him apart was his ability and willingness to share his skills with others.

This video series is a compilation of Haun’s most timeless tricks. He demonstrates how to frame a wall, roof, stairs, and floors with unmatched efficiency. In this easy-to-understand, engaging series, Haun invites his viewers to follow along and see the complete process for themselves. We recently published this video series on our Youtube channel, and due to the overwhelmingly positive response, we decided to add it to our website too.

What others are saying about the series

 

“Ridiculous how good this guy is. I smile in awe every time I watch his videos.” – Dave Matthew Properties on Youtube

“I first watched this in my middle school shop class in 93’. It never gets old.” – JJ on Youtube

“I want to thank you guys for uploading this series again, a couple of months ago I couldn’t find them for the life of me! I think that it’s really cool that you have took the time to upload these tapes, as you have worked with Larry in the past. I think this is a really great way to show respect to a much loved carpenter.” – I.D.E.K. Games on Youtube 

“I’ve watched each of these videos 2-3 times. Every time I learn something new. This guy took real pride in his work and it shows. Every time I make a perfect cut and nail it in to place, I say “and that’s the code” in honor of Larry and Joe!” – Alex K. on Youtube

 

Praise for Haun’s “The Very Efficient Carpenter”

 

“This man was a true teacher. He makes the subjects and processes easy to understand. He also explains things that other teachers fail to. A good book for an apprentice or a journeyman. I would recommend watching the videos that accompany this book, as they provide a good visual example to supplement the readings.” – Jordan A. Dubois on Amazon

“Short, easy to understand, carried it in my truck as on-the-job reference when I was much younger. Now, I’m a 25 year veteran professional carpenter. This framing How-To “Bible” made me money with production techniques I still use today.” – GetReal2010 on Amazon 

“Seriously, if you’re even considering buying this book, just do it. You will not regret it. I’ve read it cover to cover multiple times and learn something new each time. Larry is a legend.” – Yehuda M. on Amazon 

“A coworker recommended Larry Haun’s videos to me and I’m in awe of how much I learned! Larry’s book is somehow even more informative.” – Ilan Jones on Amazon
