I like this, great method. But I did not understand rafter length, or how far away should I place birds mouth from plum cut. Also, if I have single slope roof but not a lean to, I presume I will be cutting birds mouth at both ends?
Love the roof framing videos. All my books are confusing and written where you need to constantly convert decimals to fractions. Can you recommend any books that give easy detailed explanations? I have used Reichers Full Length Roof Framer for years, but a detailed explanation is better than just finding the answers from rafter tables.
Two of the best roofing books I have come across are: 1) Roof Framing by Marshall Gross 2) Complete Book of Framing by Scot Simpson. They are both good books using easy to understand cutting methods and packed with lots of illustrations.
An easy way to convert decimal to fraction ror roofing is multiple the decimal by 16 eg ,50 x16 equals 8 count on on your tape measure 8 sixteens equals half an inch
A challenge for you: Whatever if you had to cut an angle down the side of a board that's 2 ft long.? This board also has to be cut to be part of a circle of boards to make a 12-in diameter circle fence. That angle also needs to be calculated to find how many boards it will take.
HELLO' DID YOU WORK BEFORE WITH ST1612, SEAGULL ?? OR TY2806 ARE THE SAME !! BUT THE ISSUE IS ON A SWEEP SECOND PINION ( AT THE END HAVE A PIN INSTEAD A CAP TO PRESS IN LIKE MIYOTA ,82... SERIE. THERE IS SPECIAL SECOND ARMS LIKE WHEN ARRIVE BRAND NEW ???? ( VERY HARD TO INSTALL, SOMES TIME BROKEN THE PINION TRYING TO INSTALL!!! . THANKS RALPH.
I don't get it lol, I saw that they lined up on top of the plywood but what happens when you have your rig beam going down the middle? won't you have overhang because of that.
Thank you, sir, what a complex concept explained so easily, fluently and practical to use as well as to apply to any possible scenario. good instruction, thank you again
Very clear explanation I watched a couple of videos on how to get the measurements for a rafter and this by far was the clearest I actually think if I had to I would be able to cut a rafter now I used to do Roofing for years and I came across this house it had termite rot the rafters was so deteriorated and the rot was so bad it was really hard to trace a rafter now that I saw this video I think I could honestly figure out the measurements for the first template rafter
1 to 12 inch horizontal too 90° 1 to 12 inch. there are your roof pitchs. 1 thur 12 pitch. EX: one foot over/ horizontally/ flat, 4 inch vertically/ straight up is, 4-12 pitch a 4-inch rise in 12 inch's and so on and so forth...ect.
I've been watching and studying several videos on this EXACT subject. I'm here to tell ya. This is hands down the very best tutorial I've seen yet. It made me subscribe. I'm now very interested in other tutorials you've done. Keep them coming, please. And thank ya for keeping it so simple, yet perfect.
So my example was on a 2 by 4. I didn't calculate the birdsmouth in the example, I should have. On a 2 by 6 I would have 3 1/2" so the rafter would have full bearing on the top plate.
Great video. How do I figure out the length of the rafter? I want to build a 12' wide shed with a 6" overhang. What is the length of each rafter? Thanks.
You need to know what pitch then you can calculate the rafter length, if for example it is 5/12 pitch then your rafter will be 7 ' 1/2" including the overhang, you need to add a further 1" 7/16th bottom allowance too, assuming you are using 2x4" lumber
That can work until you get a long rafter, say 16 feet. If your template is off as little as 1/16", your rafter will be a whole inch short or long. Thanks, but I'll stick to my rafter tables 😉

Thank you saw dust I watch your great knowledge all ways
Thank you so much!
I am a big fan of templates. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
1 to 12 inch horizontal too 90° 1 to 12 inch. there are your roof pitchs.
1 thur 12 pitch. EX: one foot over/ horizontally/ flat, 4 inch vertically/ straight up is, 4-12 pitch a 4-inch rise in 12 inch's and so on and so forth...ect.
For a 30ft × 24ft house ,
Wat will be my rise n run...
What if my peak is 6’9” ? How do I know which pitch that is ?
maaan, ypur dog is really amazing, really the best dog in the entire world !!!! nice dog dude!

Nice demonstration
Love the way you explain things , mucho grasis from the 🇬🇧
Yea that was powerful. Thank you very much.
my pergola size is 7 ft 3 inches wide - how do if figure the rafter size without any overhang
HAPPY NEW YEAR SAWDUST AND WOOD!!!!! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Good tip, probably should make sure you have your tools when you go to work.
Can u do rafter with a longer span?
The man who taught me calls that a miter rule
It's a very good method 👌 good job
Finally , a carpenter with a brain😊
One of the best videos I’ve seen on this topic
I'm going to use this. Thank you Sir.
Thanks, you made it so easy.
How did you workout the birds mouth depth of cut?
So my example was on a 2 by 4. I didn't calculate the birdsmouth in the example, I should have. On a 2 by 6 I would have 3 1/2" so the rafter would have full bearing on the top plate.
Cool, can you show how to get the birds mouth on a 2x6 or 2x8
Thank you
That is awesome. Very nice job
Brilliantly simple
Bet you canny weld pal haha
great, just great, thanks.
Muito top
✅💯
All right, brother. Let's get those next 65K subscribers. Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Happy New Year!

Like that method
Pops
How do you work out a ten foot span with a five foot run
That's a 6/12 pitch.
That can work until you get a long rafter, say 16 feet. If your template is off as little as 1/16", your rafter will be a whole inch short or long. Thanks, but I'll stick to my rafter tables 😉
Cool dude!!!
