I will lend you the book as soon as I have done/ will have done with it. 1. I will lend you the book as soon as I have done with it.
2. I will lend you the book as soon as I will have done with it.
Are the both grammatical?

Re: I will lend you the book as soon as I have done/ will have done with it. You will also hear "I will lend you the book as soon as I am done with it".

Re: I will lend you the book as soon as I have done/ will have done with it. "...... as soon as I am done with it." seems to be the most appropriate.

Re: I will lend you the book as soon as I have done/ will have done with it. For me, the most appropriate would be "as soon as I have finished with it / as soon as I've read it". It's a matter of personal preference.

Re: I will lend you the book as soon as I have done/ will have done with it. I wouldn't say either "I have done with it" or "I am done with it".

Re: I will lend you the book as soon as I have done/ will have done with it. Nor would I, but you'll hear both. I, too, would say "I'll lend you the book when I've finished with it".

I would not say "have done with it." It makes me want to ask "have done what with it?"
