Kenneth Williams's Books
Sep.15.2011
“While making mistakes is common, fixing them is uncommon” is the maxim Williams learned during his thirty years as a general contractor. Now he has taken that experience and combined it with his years in the classroom teaching carpentry to come up with this fresh look at construction mathematics which will make on the job calculations much, much simpler.

This review is from: Applying Mathematics to Construction: Carpentry Mathematics & Estimating (Paperback)
I've read many construction books and math text books that do a pretty good job at enhancing my understanding of carpentry mathematics, but I must say this book tops them all. The methods used in the mathematical sense will blow your mind away. Lot’s of times I found myself saying, "Wow I didn't even know it could be done this way" , or "That made it so much easier".
This book will definitely help you in many areas, even if you think you know it all, you don't. It takes a gifted mind to be able to come up with these formulas that no one else really uses. I recommend this book to anyone seeking to better themselves in estimating, framing, exterior AND interior finish and trim work. instead of beating yourself up trying to figure out the math part of a project, take a moment and go through this book and you will be amazed at how much easier things can be done.
