Thanks man I appreciate it. Only advice I can give you right now is to be a SPONGE. Listen Listen Listen. You’ll learn something from everything you do👍
Great vid. I’m a weekend warrior when it comes to framing ect. I don’t pay anyone to build of fix anything for me. I’ve always struggled with getting my rafters right. Any tips?
For just a common rafter you first get your span. Chop that in half to get your run. Subtract for the ridge. Figure out your rise and diagonal on a calculator given your pitch. Always double check your numbers. Cut your ridge cut first. Pull your diagonal number. Figure out what your HAP (height above plate) is going to be. Mark out your birds mouth and tail. Cut that first pattern like a careful grandma. You want that thing to be pretty. And just use that pattern for the rest of them👍
I was surprised Spencer that you don’t use you calculator to figure all you rafters when cutting a roof? Much faster than pulling a tape ? Of course I am a finish carpenter what do I know? And where hv you been buddy ? Let me guess a women plays into this and baby! Or you hv become an accountant ?
Northwest indiana. The customs that we build and are built in my area are mostly hand cut still. However all the cooker cutter homes are pretty much all truss around here
If I’m being honest, I never really noticed it. Unless I actually stepped in a puddle, my boots never really got “soaked” from the snow. I’ve also worn vans in the snow on multiple occasions. I double sock and stay moving, it never seems to slow me down.
Another video about craftsmen who think they are invulnerable. I have to assume that safety in the workplace is not something that is in high demand, walking on top of the wall and sweeping snow on an icy surface without safety and crawling up on the outside of the scaffolding right by the hole down to the lower floor is. When I see how Americans make use of security in the workplace, I must admit, as we work in Denmark and make use of security, makes our children, wife / girlfriend are 99.9 percent sure that we come home every day without injuries ...
Hey thanks for the comment. Let me start by saying I agree with you. It is something I’ll always strive to get better at. However there are certain situations where precautions like that may not be completely necessary. I assure you that I am only doing the things I’m doing because I am a comfortable doing them. There are days where I don’t dare go on a wall. I do what is in my means and nothing more. The guys I work for make it very clear that safety takes priority. The way I observed other people in this trade when I was learning is a big factor in my opinion. It taught me be efficient when I had the chance to. I’ve seen guys from other crews do things you couldn’t imagine. It’s all about perspective in my eyes. I know I’m being safer than the worst of them. I know I’m being reckless in comparison to the best of them. Crews work differently all over the world. Once again, I’ll never do something I’m not comfortable doing. Much respect👍

Building a roof the old fashioned way. Good tunes for a bonus.

Dang man I never even considered snow on a new build, what a fuckin aggravation
12:19 10/10 toss and catch
Those no tail rafters are called mules
Why no trusses in these homes?
I was surprised Spencer that you don’t use you calculator to figure all you rafters when cutting a roof? Much faster than pulling a tape ? Of course I am a finish carpenter what do I know?
And where hv you been buddy ? Let me guess a women plays into this and baby!
Or you hv become an accountant ?
Do you need experience to join this field?
Where are u located? Just asking is there a reason ur hand cutting the roof instead of truss

@@certifiedladderholder
Near chicago? I thought that area was a shithole.
@@tallswede80 NWI has its good parts and bad
how in the world can that guy work without gloves lol
Haha we wonder the same thing! He runs hot, there’s always steam coming off of him😂
What hammer do you use?
The one I’m using in this video is a Dalluge 21 ounce. I explain the different hammers I use in my tool belt setup video👍
Wouldn't your boots get wet from the snow?

Do you have problems with using copyrighted music on videos? I assume in the future you want to monetize these. Not saying to be sarcastic I’m curious
I’ve thought about it. No problems so far. Just want to make some damn good videos. Wouldn’t be a big problem if I couldn’t monetize them.
First negative comment
You finally commented🙏Need a job Spencer? We’re hiring
