    This is a very high-quality well-prepared reference DVD which is . ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx-b91_bYU48sOwHX-XC49tRRXRxcnOmZm Ryan's Shed Plans are very easy to read with excellent illustrations. The author does a great job of explaining in easy to understand terms at just the right level for the average do-it-yourselfer. I highly recommend Ryan's Shed Plans.

    I have always liked the idea of notching the beams together. Taking a little notch out of boats beams where ever they cross and banging a nail straight through where they are notched together. Always hated a messy nail in the side

    Couldn't you have clamped a few rafters together and done the first cut with a skilsaw perhaps?

    Using oak for roof structures 👀You won't see much of this nowadays.
    Also, the thickness of wood used. This roof will outlive everyone who watches this video D:

    Use old radial arm saw on edge to cut the Steep angle on the other end. 12" . No guard. Hand saw the remaining depth if required:)

  • @onlyoneamong300
    @onlyoneamong300 3 роки тому

    I appreciate the work and the detail. The problem is that he didn't explain what's the angle of the bird mouth and how deep should the cut be. Most UA-cam tutorials explain this detail very quickly while going back and forth measuring with the ruler and the straight edge. By the end of it you end up more confused than at the beginning of it. So I give up on bird mouth online! :) Next time I'll go to a carpenter so he can explain to me the measuring part of it directly. Thanks anyway and happy new year! 👍

    That birds mouth is in the wrong direction. The hook part is there to prevent the rafter from sliding off the top plate. As shown it is only held on by the screw.

    • @carlroge
      @carlroge  6 років тому +14

      Screws are perfect for fixings where there isnt intended to be any movement. If theres too much movement, they are brittle and will snap. Nails on the other hand can adjust with the warping of the wood. In this case, the roof will 100% move as it dries/takes on weight - and so screws would fail.

    • @Teem_Loots
      @Teem_Loots 6 років тому +1

      carlrogers right, totally makes sense, thanks for replying. I'm guessing you're using green wood?

    • @carlroge
      @carlroge  6 років тому +4

      Exactly, it would cost ten times more to get aged oak. This is green Douglas fir as it won't be see. If it were to be seen we would've used green oak - like we did for the a frames and purlins. Thanks for the comment!

    • @a2thee270
      @a2thee270 5 років тому +2

      Probably too steep of a angle and you dont want to cut past your opposite angle. It weakens the board and can break the bird mouth. Alot of weight will be resting on that seat cut

    The birds mouth rests on the wall plate and when the roof goes on the weight pushes down and outward, which is correct. Your wall plate restraining straps prevent the wall plate lifting and twisting off. Or they would do, if they were fitted correctly! Your restraining straps are on the wrong side of the wall! They should be fastened on the inside.

    Lots of comments about the 2nd (shallow angle) cuts you did with the handsaw. There is no way to cut these with a mitre or skill saw (to that depth). In Canada pretty well everyone has a chainsaw (and a few know how to use them) I would have done the second cut with the chainsaw.... OR a reciprocating saw with a wide and long coarse blade.
