Very good. Do one on the outside of those boards or a wall. I am trying to build a plant stand around a wall with 2 corners and angles off about 50 degrees or so (not sure eyeballing it). \__/ something like that for the wall.
Great video! Illustrating your craft for the next generation of tradesman or those wishing to join the trades is selfless and really cool on your part! Keep sharing!
I must watched your video at least 16 times and I must say I'm a bit confuse, I see how you obtain the 9, that was easy. What I'm still trying to figure out is where the 12 come from? Somebody help me out please!
Great tutorial. My question is how do you choose the correct thickness of the main support beams? If I have a 12'D x 24'W deck that I want to put a gable roof over, how do I make sure I have the correct thickness of main beams?
54 degrees parallel to 36, and 18 degrees parallel to the 72 degrees, is that right ? I use a circular to cut it, so I can cut whatever degree I want, so I just wanted to double confirm before I start to so it. If you build a saw guide with the T tracks, you can cut whatever degree with a miter gauge because the T tracks allows you to add clamps, lock stopper, and miter gauge.
Oh my goodness, thank you. I was really struggling and thought something was wrong with me. The fact 45 still lines up made me feel like I was going insane because certain things would line up and cut accurately at 45 or 0 and the. Everything else wasn’t right. I thought I was losing my mind.
Question.. y do u need a ridge board ? cant u just but the tops of the rafters and use a plywood gusset to hold them together .. second question.. if u dont use a birdsmouth does that change the pitch angle ( Degrees ) of the top rafter cut ?
Building codes like the IRC, limit the birdsmouth to no more than 25% of the thickness of the rafter. You are way over that. Not saying it will fail, but you should have mentioned that so that others don't think they can notch rafters anyway they see fit. You could fail an inspection though. If you want full bearing, you need a 2x8 rafter. For a 2x6 you are limited to 1 3/8ths in.
This works for any angle .. start with 180 - subtract the angle found - take the number remaining and divide by 2. 180-90=90÷2=45° Just remember to start with 180 a straight line..
