    I know this video has been up awhile, but I just wanted to say "Thank you!!" for an explanation that was straightforward and easy to understand. I'm building an outdoor kitchen lean to roof and was ready to put in the rafters which required birds mouth cuts. I now feel ready!!!

    Many have already said it, but I'm here to say it again - what an outstanding presentation. The camera work, editing and sound, along with clear, concise explanations for each step make yours among the BEST construction videos out there. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing, and for being the kind of teacher that makes learning FUN -

    Very, very clear, I was able to follow every step with my speed square and a demo piece of wood. I am not building a coop or chicken mansion, but a free-standing awning at my front and back door. this has been the most simple version of a single angle roof I have been able to find. Thanks so much.

Going to cut these tomorrow and will definitely do a practice piece before cutting into my 2x6s.

I loved the way you measured out a template, that's kinda how I do things too Making these cuts were so intimidating; so I was looking into pitch connectors (easy way out), but you just saved me a good bit of money. You were so detailed in how to do this, I think I can handle it now. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

    I just stumbled upon your video, and glad I did. The way you explain each step in simple terms is outstanding, especially for those like myself with limited building experience. This video would have been a game changer for me when building my 10 x 24 firewood lean-to shed last summer. The idea of doing birds mouth cuts intimidated me, so I used hurricane ties instead. The way you explained it and the detailed use of the speed square (never knew how to use one) was excellent and I would have given it a go. I just kept shaking my head while watching this and kept thinking, I would have done a few things differently with my shed (like adding the purlins to accommodate a longer eave) cause you explained its so well. I have only found a few channel to subscribe to, and you have now been added to that list! Thanks, and looking forward to checking out your other videos.

      I am honored to be on your sub list! don't beat your self up I defiantly went over board on this build (always do). Plus I knew I was going to move it around with the tractor so it needed to be strong. for a wood shed straps will work just fine.

    Dang, I feel so stupid now. I'm 63 and by no means a carpenter but I've scabbed a few boards together in my years. I always wondered how to make the roof look nice and I guess I'm never too old to learn. Thank you, I'm in the process of building a simple 8x20 pole barn type lean to, this video will be watched at least 14 times while I try to replicate the rafters...thanks.

    You do an excellent job explaining things , I enjoy watching others work now after having worked in construction many years ! A little trick an old time carpenter showed me is to keep a heavy old time rasp handy! I did a lot of birds mouth cuts and kerfs for ledgers . Knock the wood out with your hammer and then hit the birds mouth or notch cut with rough side of rasp and flip it over and smooth side rasp the shoulder to heel cut . Takes the little scrap out of the corner and levels things up nice on notches . The rasp will do in seconds what you did with wood chisel ! Try it ,you'll like it !

    I've used speed squares my whole life (not a framer), never knew that the mark on the other side of the 2 was the degree, and none of these other videos states that which is very simple...
    One has the "pythagorean theorem" to explain it instead. Well, if I knew wtf that was I wouldn't be looking at these videos would I?

    This is an excellent video and should be the benchmark for anyone else that wants to provide "how-to" videos.
    I learned more in 14 minutes by watching this video than I have in a few days of reading and looking for tutorials. I really appreciate your teaching style and how you explain things in such a simple and understandable manner.
    Your description of the speed square helped me finally understand what the hell all of those lines and numbers actually mean.
    This video is exactly what I needed at the exact time I needed it!! I started a handyman business a year ago and recently landed my first lean-to roof job to cover a small deck.
    Other note worthy mentions:
    you don't come across as arrogant or seem to have an ego that is bigger than the universe like some others with tutorial videos.
    The overall video quality, the ability to hear you clearly, and the angles in which you recorded while demonstrating the cuts and placement of your boards is very much appreciated. I think a lot of tutorial videos forget to make sure that all aspects of their video are easy to follow.
    Thanks for sharing!!

    I truly respect old world craftsmanship, always admire diligence in appearance and fit. You are definitely a craftsman. With that said, and considering time is valuable and sometimes more modern brackets are exponentially more robust than wood to wood fitments, I’d point to the use of metal prefab brackets between your top plate and rafters. Sold by most lumber stores, they are called “18-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Hurricane Tie”. Sell for $1.25 each. Huge time saver, bearing strength of 1100 pounds each.

    I believe using the diamond hole on your Swanson speed square could facilitate drawing the seat cut line on your birds mouth cutout. The Swanson handbook says it's a patented feature. Just learning and studying rafters and not experienced, just what I read. Haven't tried it myself. Could save a lot of time and seems easy to do.

Buy a speed square and use the common section and the pitch you use just look at the degrees below it and it’ll tell you the matching degrees when you’re lined up on your common pitch at same time so you’ll know how to set up skill or table or chop saws pitch.
