That was one of the most dangerous cuts I've ever seen on a tablesaw
I was was literally squirming in my chair - but thanks for the video it really helped me!
I always run the angle flush with the 2/4 nailer
💥Cool video, thank you. I would really like to see how you framed that gable end roof overhang. 🤟🏼
Thanks, James. I didn't film how I did that particular overhang, but I did it the same way as in this video on the stoop roof: ua-cam.com/video/DVKFWunkVdQ/v-deo.html I hope it helps!
Carpentry newb question, but what's the point of doing this at all, as opposed to just putting sheathing over the existing roof structure as it was at the beginning of the video?
Leaving the rafter-tails exposed is totally fine and even preferable on some styles of structures (i.e.. Craftsman, Carpenter Gothic ...). On this project we were trying to match the existing house on the property for continuity. The house has a 4 /12 roof with boxed soffits, so we gave the garage the same. ... Good question, Brian.
This is as an additional detail to the fascia for the siding/ break metal guys. Just looks better having the gable end soffit running with the roof pitch, then that box helps transition the soffit to become flat(level) on the side of the building where the rafters overhang.
Josh. It looks like
You have made some small circular holes from a drill in your wood behind that sub-facia box you're making.
For air circulation ? If so,
Any screen in those? Just curious.
Great video.
Thank you, Marie. And you're observant. Yes, the holes are for air. Screen isn't necessary because the soffits got covered with perforated Hardie soffit board, which keeps out the bugs. Thanks for the question.
I wish your fingers luck 👌
its often called a "birdbox", good video too
Good info. I didn't know that. Thanks!
hey this almost looks like mine ! awosme job
Thanks!
Hey man how do i do this if my wall bows real bad? Its not level. I live in the house that Jack built,,,
Hopefully I understand your question right. Here's my take, and a lot of people will probably disagree. I don't typically try to go back and level and straighten things when I'm adding to old work, I just try to make everything run on similar lines so that it looks right to the eye. You might have to scribe your soffits to get them to fit right, but that's easier than what you'd have to do to straighten everything. I hope this helps.
@@FamilyFriendlyDIY sorry about calling you josh.
I was tired
Ty. For response.
This video. Will help me a lot thank you again.
Be careful with those saw tables.
Why not use the tape holder on the opposite side?
Also thanks for the video, gave me some techniques to try out on my project.
Good question. It's because I'm trying to be more efficient by using my left hand for my tape, so I can grab my pencil with my right hand at the same time to measure and mark (as a righty). I wish the real tape holder was on the left side. I think I talk about it in this video .. ua-cam.com/video/oQgda70A3lE/v-deo.html
Awesome. Glad to hear it.
Long boring video
Thanks for the input.
