A very confident young man, with great instructional skills too. After his final week of college, I reckon he could step right into a college lecturer role. I’ve no doubt that Elliot can and will go far. Good luck Elliot and total respect.

I read the entire Ryan’s kzfaq.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.

A craftsman. This video shows what is wrong with the UK today. We have no respect for the working classes because we have no respect for work itself. I can imagine no greater satisfaction and pride than building that model, and even better, a real roof. We marvel at the care the kid takes as he draws each line knowing that the whole is, at least, the sum of the parts. A degree or two out in one corner will metastasize itself throughout the whole structure. Every man, every day, should leave work with a feeling of dignity. That's all that matters. But we have lost all sight of craft these days - above all those that have never picked up a tool but live in a world built for them using those tools. Sadly I don't see a path back.

My late father was a joiner who did a seven year apprenticeship starting at age 15 when he left school,he always said chippys have it easy now with roof rafters already made and delivered to site,we just had timber and a drawing and built the roof on site,and always flew a union jack flag when the roof timber work was completed,he would have loved seeing this young lad

I am coming to the end of my working life and find it refreshing to see young people who are full of enthusiasm , and experienced guys who appreciate them , as we need them as much as they need us old fellas ! I believe you should start off - getting things done right ( exact ) . One can always get rougher and quicker , but its good to have the confidence gained by being a good hand . All the best for a happy working life Elliot .

A perfectly square set of wall-plates is great in a college environment but something that I've rarely found in reality. Yes you can 'tweak' them but if the bricklayers don't check plumb then a chippy can have to alter the 'point to birdsmouth' measurements. I will complain when I have to start changing angles when it gets so bad but in the building trade we're always covering the previous trade's laziness.

Well I have to say that was absoluteley BRILLIANT. I am a 55 year old joiner and take my hat off to that young lad. Roofing was allways my favourite work. But sadly in my generation someone invented roof trusses and spoilt all the joy and technicality that a roof gives you. The satisfaction to see all your calculations work when you've built the roof is second to none. He will go a long way in the CARPENTRY and JOINERY world. 10 out of 10 young man.

I got taught this on my level 3 City & Guilds diploma 4 years ago. I could never grasp the geometric drawing. It’s still blew my head watching you explain it. Roofing has always been one area of carpentry I’ve always wanted to get into but have the least experience with. I can cut a common rafter no problem but working out Hips and Valley rafters, I’d really struggle. You have really put the time and effort into practising. I hopefully will get to a level of understanding you have as roofing carpentry really interests me! Well done
