Finally a video that doesn't rabbit on and just shows you simply

Carpenter of 40yrs, That folks is called experience and it cant be bought, job well done sir.

Top tradesman with top quality work and straight talking no fuss tutorial, love your content and many will learn from this.

Wicked video mate straight to the point very well explained, thankyou 👍🏼👌💯

You've just taken me back to 1985 joinery apprenticeship with that birdsmouth cut tip - spot on

I'm a retired joiner ..9yrs now..(wow!)....and it's been a pleasure watching you mate....a true tradesman....knowing exactly what to do...and making it look so easy...(I don't miss those cold Jan/Feb days at all)...absolutely loved your video...👍🏻

Used this way today to set out my rafters. Thanks for sharing this it really helped, 30 years as a joiner everyday we learn

So refreshing to see some tradesmen that care about what they do. Very informative video. Thank you guys.

Great work and attention to detail - that’s been the story so far. Glad I’ve been able to share this - thanks 👍🏻

We’ll explained, step by step , plus little tricks , really love this channel !!

many thanks for doing this - so good to watch your skills ( and hopefully remember enough to learn some of them ! ) i randomly got this suggested in my feed and shall now go back to the beginning and watch your whole set of videos. so much better than the rubbish you get on the tv!

Watched alot of rafter and birdsmouth videos and this is by far the best. Well explained and so simple 👍👍👍👍👍

Did an extension roof almost identical to this at the end of last summer, working for a mate who is a 35 year seasoned chippy (I'm a 15 year skilled labourer/handyman), and I wish I had seen this video beforehand! Your attention to detail and care over the design/layout elements is phenomenal, really impressive, and a level of experience & knowledge "input" (and clear years of loving your craft) that I wish my mate still had! Great video...I'm now "Subscribed"!!! 👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼😁

That technique is gold, thanks. Theres nothing out there that explains how to find the angle of a lean too rafter especially in a way that is understandable. Gold !

What an absolute pleasure to watch a true tradesman doing his work. The planning ahead and attention to detail to ensure that it works out perfectly is very impressive.

Brilliant. New to the channel and really enjoying the videos. Clear to see in a couple of minutes the craftsmanship, experience and knowledge. 👍

Pleasure to watch as always 👍🏼 looking forward to the next one already 🙌🏽

Another great video as always ! Love the detail and explanation of your process, amazing skill.

I think these builders who make vids of their work put the others to shame. Your skill, technique, quality control, site safety and cleanliness is there for all to see. Not just the end result but the hidden stuff that is so hard to see unless you are on top of every stage. One single mistake and all those that don't have the confidence to broadcast will pile in! The fact that you do this means you'll always be up at the top of the trade and customers can engage you with confidence. Thank God for KZfaq!

Thank you, this is very helpful for those who cant afford to hire somebody.

Lean to, roof Mr A ! it’s leaning towards not leaning as well ! That’s enough of that. I am pleased to see that there is enough space beneath the sills to install your top flashing, I’ve come across several sets of drawings which ignore this, I think with the intention of getting a specific head height and tiling fall.

Nice to watch a proper tradesmen who takes pride on his work Going to subscribe to the channel after watching this vid

I've been watching many projects on the KZfaq. This has to be the best channel out there. It is so delightful to watch a knowledgeable nice lad with eye to detail explaining every step. Even the weather has to surrender to him. Nice job mate!

Craftsman at work. Great video with detail. Catching up on all the other great content you have uploaded. Thank you.

Really been enjoying this build, looking forward to next 👍

That was a truly cracking description of how to cut the wid correctly. This is the 2nd time I've watched this vlog.

me and my hubby been watching since the loft and we are enjoying watch ,keep up the good work kay n stu

Thanks, buddy, accurate and simply to do. This is what I was looking for.

Done many a roof and this explanation is one that anyone could use. Very well done 👍🏻👌🏻

Pleasure watching you work,

Been waiting with anticipation for the new episode, better than watching Eastenders.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Great work and well explained 👍🏼

Another great video lads 👏

This channel deserves more Subs

You have a good way about you, very entertaining , you know your stuff .👍

Can’t wait any longer I’ve got to go the loo and make another cuppa. Be back in a mo! Na just thankful your posting these. Catch you later.🤪

Brilliant work..Great video..thanks

Keep up the good work.

Great work from a construction manager

Hello mate the upper timber on the existing is the ledger, and the lower one near the eaves of the new build which has been bedded is the wall plate

Great to watch great information

Really good simple way ! thank you for the knowledge p.s its called a ledger board 😉

Very helpful, many thanks, 👍

“ it’s what we do” good stuff. 👍

Lovely job!

Top notch lads... Top notch.

Great trick with the rafters

Nicely explained 👍😎

Good system for cutting plumb/ bird's mouth 👍

Very interesting thank you looks amazing 🤩

Just discovered you, very good video

Great video, over here most people machinery bolt down their wallplate, I noticed that in the UK you prefer to bed them down.

Trying to get all the joints bang on is so dependent on so many variables ie the sole plate being dead level the outside wall being real parallel with the existing wall the nominal timber sizes being all the same size and square generally nowadays from my experience u can’t have all of them things falling in to place ( especially the timber sizes) so it’s always a compromise on a drawing it works perfectly but in reality it rarely does so u compensate as all chippies do on site and make it work but for me u still can’t beat traditional roof construction so great tutorial

Wow mint good video and good training thanks

I love that roofing square

It would been interesting to see how the wall plates are secured to the wall,they must take a fair load with a tiled roof.keep up the good work.

Nice job 👍

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing. The owners must be really attached to that house given what looks like a sizeable extension on the top already!

Here in Canada we call your bolted wall plate a ledger board 👏

Good work🙂

First of all thank you for passing on knowledge to us young lads, im a carpentry apprentice myself and love watching these. Probably a long shot but im doing my apprenticeship at a local hospital and really struggling to get any roofing evidence that i need to qualify, would you ever entertain having a labourer/ chippys mate with you on one of your projects?

Great advice

What a nice chap! It'd be good to work with a tradesman like that.

what a great video💯💥👍

You make it look simple

Great detailed explanation. I have 2 questions. 1. How do you add stepped dpc or cavity tray over the catnic openings for the weep vents? 2. Where the rafter bevel rests on the ledger board/bolted wall plate, in what instance would this become another birds mouth cut resting on top of the bolted plate?

Top of rafters should also be birdsmouthed to stop horizontal stresses

Brilliant 💪🏻

awesome tips :)

Great vids. Thanks for posting. I have a lean to on my old 1840's stone garage. The roof is slate tile and is laid directly on the stone. The lathes are rotten and it needs replacing So I want to add a bolted wall plate and rebuild using the process you outlined in this video. The stone where the bolted wall plate will be fixed is pretty wavy. I was thinking I could use packers where needed when bolting it to the stone would that work or would you advise something different?

Great job

CLASS MATE!!

Hi guys, do you do the tiling of the roof aswell, if so a detailed video on that would be great.👍👍

Hi, Its a nice video detailing the rafters size measurement and headplate. Please advise the size of screw/bolts used for the headplate. It is very important and starting step to fix the headplate securely. Thanks

Hi keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall keep it up you

Very nice. 👌

Thankyou for sharing

That’s a good way of sorting the pitch how I do it is bottom of the rafter to top of ridge and lift the bottom to the height above plate I’d suggest trying out the ultimate roofing square

Thanks for uploading, i enjoy watching the work. Mick looks familiar, were we running around Coventry's yard training to be firemen, back in 1980? All the best.

Great work lads. How you finding the Perkins tool belt? I bought the Diamond Back but like the look of that one

Be interested to learn how you do your lead work. We have a first floor timber balcony against pebbledash with French doors underneath which leak when it rains.

Good video Do you just use nails to attached the rafter to the wall plate? What type of nails?

Alot of people would of just chucked it on keep it up

hi, so where we are you have to bolt and dog washer your doubles/triples around roof lights plus joist hanger all openings, rafter clip the bottoms and truss clip the tops or are you doing that in the next part? great episode

This method of setting out was used by an old carpenter who done nothing but 1st fix roofing kind of fool proof. He used to do a similar way for the hips but he nailed a scrap piece to wall plate be interesting to see how you set out hips.
