    Although I/we here in the UK set out and mark our hip and jack rafters differently, I still think you do a really great job of clearly explaining how you guys do it in the US 🇺🇸. I also think the way you describe and demonstrate how the different angles apply to the different parts of the roof are very clear and apply to roof construction however you do it. 👍 Great work.

    this is informational knowledge gold. I appreciate you so much man, It is so obvious those people that truly know the material vs people who watched a couple youtube videos and decided they were now expert enough to teach other people but the ease and way you put together a demo of a skill is very apparent when its just something you deeply know. It is hard to find quality people like you who will take the time to teach numbers and number skills as it is difficult (again, unless you really know the material) so anyways, long story long, just want to offer a truly genuine appreciation of your efforts it came up at just the right time when I had this task at hand and man, there is a lot of people on youtube over complicating things, giving weird unrealistic info that no one would actually do in real life if they had any idea why they were doing what they were doing. Posted this two years ago but its still very valuable thank you a million.

    Great video. Framing a hip roof for a gazebo I'm building and this has helped a lot (only had to watch it about 10 times before having all of it really sink in, LOL). Question: I am tackling my tiki bar hip roof next. Want to do a 12" overhang on the back and right side and a 24" overhang on the front and left side. How should I tackle where the 12" and 24" overhangs come together? I was thinking of having the hip rafter stop short where a fascia board would line up (in the horizontal) with the closest jack rafters on each side of the hip. Your thoughts?

    Love your videos. Clear, concise and to the point. I have one question. When cutting the hip rafters you change the pitch from 6 - 12 to 6 -17. Does that apply to any pitch? For example would I use the same run (17) for a 5 -12 or a 4 -12? So 5 -17 or 4 -17 in this example.

      Shortening is half the 45 degree thickness of the ridge board if you are doing a single side cut attaching to the ridge. However, if you are doing a double sided cut (like in the video), it's half the 45 degree thickness of the common rafter. Great question!!

      Yes, valley and hip rafters are basically the same. I really do need to do a video on valley rafters!

    You showed us the steps to do
    this calculation 1:35 in the basic
    common rafter video, and I was getting
    the same numbers as you were.
    Now, for this video using your Construction
    Calc, your result is 26'' ,
    while my TI calc (30XA)
    shows 24''
    I found this issue
    earlier today in a different video on a common
    rafter and hip rafter video, as he was using
    a construction calculator as well, I kept getting
    a about an inch difference.
    For your video, my steps are;
    23.25'' squared + 6'' squared = , then square
    root of ,and the result comes up 24.011'' not the
    26'' that your construction calculator shows.
    Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

      Hello. Your numbers are off because you are using the TOTAL run (23.25") and the UNIT (rise of 6"). You can't use both a total measurement and a unit measurement in that calculation. I hope that makes sense. This video talks about unit numbers. ua-cam.com/video/kR6kGufeKIU/v-deo.html

      Thanks much, I had gotten it
      right following your 'Beginner
      rafter layout' , I somehow lost
      the 'Unit' aspect of the calculations.
      I see now that I was confusing
      the entering of the 'total run'
      (minus 1/2 the frame board width)
      being imputed into the Construction
      calculator, here @ 1:27.
      Since I'm using a 'standard'
      calculator instead of a construction
      calculator, I need to remember to
      include 'unit' numbers, not total run
      number as you mentioned.
      Thanks again.

    What do you do if your building isn't perfectly the same length both directions of the hip? Say one side is 120" and the other one to the king rafter center is 80"? Is there a way to calculate this hip and jack rafters with the construction master calculator?

    I just found your videos and they're awesome! One question on this video, though. When you laid out the hip rafter you changed the guide on the square from 12 inches to 17 inches. How did you know to move it those 5 inches? Where did the 5 inch change come from?

    im genuinly wondering. where did you get the 7/16 number to add to the end of the jack rafters? your hit is 1 1/2 inches wide. half of that is 3/4 right? does the 45 degeree angle change something im missing?

    This was perfect. Currently I'm in my 2nd year Carpentry Apprenticeship and our teacher is confusing me slightly with hup rafter cuts. He's telling us to measure 1 13/16ths from the first plumb line and from our fascia line to measure back 2 1/8th and then 3/4 on each side of the lines for our cuts. It's a 10/12 roof and it's 42" by 30". Any way you can simplify this?

    • @TrainingHandsAcademy

      Sorry I can't. There are so many different ways to cut rafters... be sure to ask him/her for clarification in the next class. Thanks for reaching out.

    Very nice videos on roof rafters. I will be building adding a hip roof porch to my house. I have a question. The porch will be 14' wide and extend 10' from the house. Based on a simple 2D drawing I did, at 14' wide the hip rafters would not connect to the house because they would run into each other. I need at least 2 common rafters for the hips to attach to. The number of hip rafters determine the width of the horizontal flat that is up against the house. Is it strictly aesthetics that determine the number of commons rafters or are there a structural considerations I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance.
