Fine Homebuilding Tips and Techniques for Builders

By: Fine Homebuilding

Back by popular demand, these classic woodworking titles from Fine Woodworking magazine are filled with first-rate information that is as timeless now as it was when first published. Here are hundreds of practical, hard-won methods of working that cover every aspect of home construction and remodeling. If you're the handy person around your home, you'll relish this unique collection. No building job, whether new construction, renovation, or remodeling, is exactly like any other. Nor does building ever go precisely according to plan. That's why builders have to improvise solutions by relying on their ingenuity and experience. And with the job well done, few can resist the urge to share the insight that made it all work out. The "Tips & Techniques" column in Fine Homebuilding magazine is the pre-eminent forum where builders exchange job-site lore. The editors of Fine Homebuilding magazine have organized all this valuable advice into this handy volume. You'll find extensive sections on tools, layout and measuring, foundations and masonry, rough carpentry, roofs, floors, drywall, trim carpentry, doors and windows, built-ins, and even painting. Some of these pointers are basic advice to the novice and some are for the more experienced craftsperson. But they've all been tested and proven on the job. This is advice you can really use.

Farmhouse

Inspiration for the Classic American Home

By: Fine Homebuilding

The farmhouse is a classic American icon, combining comfort and simplicity, elegance and nostalgia, all without pretension. No matter the age or condition, these historic homesteads call to mind the pragmatism of the pioneers who worked the land and raised their families at a time when practicality was key to prosperity. But the farmhouse is more than a historic artifact. Farmhouse style continues to evolve into the 21st century, carrying with it the best of the past while adapting to our modern lifestyle. Whether built in 1720 or 2020, a farmhouse is instantly recognizable for its main rectangular form, gabled or lean-to additions, various outbuildings, and spartan architecture, among other hallmarks. While the farmhouse's use of natural materials and basic construction is indicative of its traditional, sensible nature, modern farmhouses might equally be built according to Passive House or other energy-efficient standards. Whether true to tradition or adapted for a modern lifestyle, the houses featured in Farmhouse are a testament to the flexibility, durability, longevity, and--above all else--the everlasting appeal of the American farmhouse.

A Mind of Its Own: How Your Brain Distorts and Deceives

Exposing the mind's deceptions and exploring how the mind defends and glorifies the ego, Dr. Fine illustrates the brain's tendency to self-delusion, whether it be hindsight bias, wishful thinking, unrealistic optimism, or moral excuse-making.

Not Really an Alaskan Mountain Man

Not Really an Alaskan Mountain Man

By: Doug Fine

Now here's a formula for near disaster: East Coast big-city guy, world-traveler, jounalist, and otherwise politically savvy fellow settles down in rural Alaska, where men are many and manly, and women with survival skills are good to count among your friends. He wants to fit in. But how does one learn to be a Mountain Man? By observing, imitating, and making near-fatal mistakes, that's how. The choices a boy has to make. Eat processed food or on-the-hoof food, learn to operate a chainsaw or freeze to death, figure out what a bunny boot is or lose a few toes, and by the way, which end of he barrel points up? This is the story of Doug's first difficult winter in a one-room cabin, trying to stay alive and come out of it with some semblance of Alaska cool. With side-splitting, self-depreciating humor, Doug shares his attempts to elevate himself past his perpetual state of greenhorn-ness by aligning himself with tough sourdoughs to someday claim the title of manly Mountain Man.
