Has anyone seen or purchased the Peters Building Videos that are always advertised in Fine Homebuilding magazine? They are supposed to help you master roof cutting and rafter techniques. I figured I would try them because all the roof cutting books I’ve read or tried to read are WAY too complicated. Marshall Gross’ book “Roof Framing” was really confusing to me. Any thoughts if these videos are worth it?

Don't know about the videos, but I'll second the comment on Marshall Gross' book. Try Roof Cutter's Secrets to Framing the Custom Home by Will Holladay , much easier to read.
