It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ru-vid.comUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.
Excellent ru-vid.comUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU . I built the basic model with its help and it turned out great . It is intensive and really educational. Ryan got another victor! No one can represent it better than Ryan. Thank you, Ryan!
just finished a hip on my garden shed . Was going to do a Gable , like everyone around me . watching your video inspired me . I took it one step at a time ,following you closely . If I may , I like to add for others who are new to this . Make sure your floor is perfectly level and solid . Top plate needs to be level and square . Use nice looking material . I used screws through out for floor and framing . Very little hand banging . Don't overthink it . I enjoyed building the hip on my shed . My tolerance was +/- 3/32 inch ,not sure if that is good or not ,but I like it . Thank you for a great video and the inspiration .
Thank you for your time and generosity giving such great input on the roof framing work. Much clearer than my teacher at the carpenter and jointers school, some thirty five years ago.
What a basic video. He doesnt have to use humor and be silly to teach. I like that, This guy is a great teacher and I'm about to check out his other videos. Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!
Framing side walls, windows and doors? Not a problem. Top it with a hip roof? Before today, I wasn't brave enough to even consider it a possibility; fears of elevated costs for all the waste in materials and those mental images of the roof collapsing in on my new addition. I'm not a builder by trade so thank you for taking the time to give a very thorough explanation followed by the markings, cuts, assembly and recap. Teachers like you help to change dreams into realities for many of us. Bare minimum, we have a greater understanding if/when we're dealing with architects and building contractors.
I love how you have learnt that skill and use it so confidently. I would say if I do this, you are going to end up with a whole lot of short timber. I am glad you showed how to put up the ridge, as I was wondering what went first. A really helpful explanation.
The great thing about this video, I saved a lot of money. I now know to just hire a pro rather than waste time and dollars attempting it myself. Thanks!
smashing vid. Remind me so much of the late great Larry Haun. Easy for us to criticise. No one is perfect. keep it up guys, this vid is going to hit the millions.
This is great information! Did anyone else notice or feel like this video was made in the mid 90's? Look at the truck and van in the background. Did you make this excellent video all those years ago? THATS forethought and planning!
Yeah he stole this video. The guy in the video is Steve Peters and this video was part of a series he made in the 90’s. ‘Sawdust and Wood’ flat out stole this video and claimed it as his own, he’s deleted comments of mine before because I’ve called him out on this theft as well.
Your not a chippie mate your a true Master craftsman my hat off to you, hope your Not working but teaching youngsters in a collage, over here we also have our own master craftsmen skill builder, skills you are Both tops s a teacher you just make it all sound so easy Great stuff thanks for posting mate
For all of y'all hammer heads that are criticizing this man's video why don't y'all make y'alls own at lease he took the time to teach people something they didn't know
I'm a carpentry instructor and I teach this every class. This guy did a great job. It's very difficult to explain these concepts in a way people who are not craftsmen, or are just learning to understand. Being a carpenter is a separate skillset then being a teacher. If you can do both god bless ya. Let alone being able to film, edit, and publish an instructional video. Excellent job man!
Old school. Experience, perfect methodology, without unnecessary clowning. The guys know what they are doing and share it. I appreciate here in Poland. There is a lack of such professionals today. Does anyone know what years it is?
Nice to see the Steel Square used for it's designed purpose. We use sliding levels for plumb and seat cuts...or used to. I haven't pitched a roof in donkeys years..lol!
From a carpenter who lives in Florida mostly all trusses cas of hurricane uplift. Being able to conventional frame is an art in itself. Ol reliable Hitachi stick gun can't beat um
Good intro. I learned a little but still I could not do this without watching it again a few times. It looks like the hip rafter tails need a special cut on them to attach the rake/subfacia but IDK.
My rancher has hipped roof with tilted fascia and no gutters with typical 20" soffit/overhang. So you can actually have more fun with your exterior on a hipped roof. Some homes put fun shapes on exposed rafters and fascia.
When matching HAP or heel height on hip to the common rafter it shouild be marked 3/4" back -ish (for 1.5" stock), where the hip sides intersects wall. Did I miss something? if you did it his way it would be way low?
You didn't drop the hip. Also can you show how to get rafter lengths and make deductions for the ridge. Also rafter tails? I like the way you made the double cheek. Great mock up for demo
Initially I was wondering how this guy was so jacked, every framer I’ve worked with is lean and wire-y. Figured he was a concrete guy. And then he cut the rafters with a windows 98 monitor lol thank god for technology.
Gable as you know is exactly same procedure as a hip but with out a hip, so generally a ladder is formed to give the required overhang from the last rafter either end
Wyatt Earp stacking a hipp roof !!! Good video though of a real framer cutting and hands on explanation Not a cookie cutter from hgtv that’s for sure!!
Good video...... you have done good tricks in your skill set. Here’s one... If you subtract a quarter inch off of your heel height on you hip rafter, the corners of the rafter won’t be high. I see it all the time, and it shows when the roof is sheeted.
I have hip roof as per your design. Would you be able to do another You tube video to show how to do loft conversion supporting the rafters and removing the purlin on all sides. The purlin are currently supporting the rafters and preventing them from sagging. They are supported by two load bearing walls of the stairwell in the middle of the house. I am not thinking of dormer but just utilising the existing roof space.
Will your rafter layout match up to your stud layout. 5’1/2” is not on 16 or 24” center. How would you do it if you wanted rafters to land over a stud?
Beautiful, great job! Q: Why in some areas in the US they haven't brazed the rafters so they use the attics as nice rooms? Is it because they did it themselves without counting with restrictive inspectors and engineers which in most cases ruin our spaces? Once you see an open attic that hasn't being brazed, open and nicely converted into a room or a story, you will try to avoid brazing your roof.
It looks like you angle cut the end of the ends of the jack rafters where they abut the hip rafters (45 degrees?), but do you angle cut the end of the hip rafters where they meet the ridge? If so, at what angle? And what about the bird's mouths on the hip rafters where they meet the corners at the top of the walls?
Several different ways but using the Pythagorean theorem on a basic calculator it's simple you square you rise and run add them together and hit √ button it will tell you the length of course in decimal form if you don't have carpenter calculator which is simple of course like .25 is a quarter .5 a half .333 a third so on and so forth but you length of rafter on a 12/12 pitch which just put√2 that's a foot for rise and one for run it'll give you 1.414 which is basically 17 inches because the .414 is not 4 inches it's 5 or close enough .42 is 5 inches .33 is 4 inches because your looking at it as a percentage of of a foot
Amazing video. One question is how do you determine the height of the ridge? Also what was the width of your birdsmouth when you were marking them on the common rafters
Say a roof has a span of 24' to get the height of the ridge take 1/2 so it would be 12' say the roof rises 6'' per foot so 6x12 - 72 if you want it exact take a framing square and lay it on a flat board put 6 and 12 on the same edge and slid the square 3/4 '' .following the 12 side of the square and read the height on the 6 ' side it would be about 5 3/4 so subtract the difference 1/4 and you have 71 3/4 then add the amount the rafters at the seat is above the plate on a plumb line on a 2/6 it would be about 4 1/2 for the ridge height would be 72 4 and 1/4
It's the owner who should decide the height of the ridge. Unless the house is done, measure it by tape measure. And if you cannot get access use Pythagorean theorem.c^2-b^2=a^2,
