Possibly the most satisfiying part of the roof yet.... installing the rafters. Due to the width of the roof, we had to use 2 rafters rather than 1. Bottom rafter needed Bird's Mouths cut so as to rest on the wall plate installed way back when. As long as you keep the depth and angle roughly the same throughout, it's fairly simple. Once nailed to the wall plate, we cut off the ugly feet. Once started, these when up really quickly, mostly down to a lot of measuring in earlier stages.

This is a very high-quality well-prepared reference DVD which is . kzfaq.infoUgkx-b91_bYU48sOwHX-XC49tRRXRxcnOmZm Ryan's Shed Plans are very easy to read with excellent illustrations. The author does a great job of explaining in easy to understand terms at just the right level for the average do-it-yourselfer. I highly recommend Ryan's Shed Plans.

@onlyoneamong300 2 жыл бұрын

I appreciate the work and the detail. The problem is that he didn't explain what's the angle of the bird mouth and how deep should the cut be. Most KZfaq tutorials explain this detail very quickly while going back and forth measuring with the ruler and the straight edge. By the end of it you end up more confused than at the beginning of it. So I give up on bird mouth online! :) Next time I'll go to a carpenter so he can explain to me the measuring part of it directly. Thanks anyway and happy new year! 👍

How about a simple fixture on your miter saw to make that 2nd cut. Using a handsaw? Seems like a lot of time and effort for a less consistent cut, even with the speed increase in the video...

@gregwarner3753 3 жыл бұрын

That birds mouth is in the wrong direction. The hook part is there to prevent the rafter from sliding off the top plate. As shown it is only held on by the screw.

Lots of comments about the 2nd (shallow angle) cuts you did with the handsaw. There is no way to cut these with a mitre or skill saw (to that depth). In Canada pretty well everyone has a chainsaw (and a few know how to use them) I would have done the second cut with the chainsaw.... OR a reciprocating saw with a wide and long coarse blade.
