I don’t know how you came into my feed but you are a magnificent teacher and speaker. Keep up the good work.

OMG I have watched countless videos about roof framing and this is the best one I have ever seen. Maybe it all just finally sank in, I don't know...but I understand finally how to do this. THANK YOU!

Although I/we here in the UK set out and mark our hip and jack rafters differently, I still think you do a really great job of clearly explaining how you guys do it in the US 🇺🇸. I also think the way you describe and demonstrate how the different angles apply to the different parts of the roof are very clear and apply to roof construction however you do it. 👍 Great work.

I’m impressed with the quality of this class. This guy is no doubt one of the bests carpenters of US.

Great video. I learned a very important thing today. When you want to build a roof call a professional!!!! Thanks it was still informative.

Thank you for your video. You showed a "great tutorial" and I have learned some basic from it. I am retired and I would not do any roofing works. But, I tried to learn rafter skills to build a greenhouse.

THANK YOU! By 3:30 I got all the info I needed. I'm a union carpenter with 30 yrs experience but I rarely frame roofs. Just needed a quick layout review. You nailed it. Best roof framing video I've seen. Nice and concise

Very informative, and not rambling video. thank you, I don't think I could recreate this without the calculator though obviously.

This was a great video, thankyou mate. I'm an apprentice carpenter in Sydney, 2 years in, and am finding roofing to be very interesting, challenging and rewarding. Videos like this are really helping me learn by seeing different ideas and approaches to roofing.

Very helpful. I’m adding an attached lean to shed to my house and will build the roof with these hips to match the existing structure. You probably saved me a few days and a dozen boards!

This is a great video! I took roofing classes in the past, but this by far is a much clearer illustration than anything I learned in class. Thanks for posting this video.

Although we generally set out and measure our hips and jack rafters differently here in the UK, for anyone wanting to try and understand better the 'American' way of doing it, this is a fantastically well presented and easy to follow video. Cheers👍

I am going to build a small Pool house/ gazebo and I want a hip roof on it. You are helping to give me some courage but will watch several more times. Thanks for taking the tone to educate us!!

I'm retired now and did not get the chance to cut many roof's. Very well explained. For whatever reason, I'm revisiting how to do hip roof's. When I was a kid Dad showed me how to step off rafters. I used the calculator you're using here. Or Reichers book. Thanks for posting.

this is informational knowledge gold. I appreciate you so much man, It is so obvious those people that truly know the material vs people who watched a couple youtube videos and decided they were now expert enough to teach other people but the ease and way you put together a demo of a skill is very apparent when its just something you deeply know. It is hard to find quality people like you who will take the time to teach numbers and number skills as it is difficult (again, unless you really know the material) so anyways, long story long, just want to offer a truly genuine appreciation of your efforts it came up at just the right time when I had this task at hand and man, there is a lot of people on youtube over complicating things, giving weird unrealistic info that no one would actually do in real life if they had any idea why they were doing what they were doing. Posted this two years ago but its still very valuable thank you a million.

I just built a gazebo with a hip roof after looking at your very well explained videos. The result is more than I expected. Thank you so much Josh!😊

Thank you, this winter i will start Building an extra rooms to my house, and i am very happy that i found you, i will start transfer ur INCH to CM do it as you say 👍👍👍👍👍

This is such a good video filled with clearly presented, useful information that I regret there's only one like to give. Thanks for sharing, looking forward for more :)

What a PHENOMENAL video...you are a gifted teacher, and this was the best explanation I've seen on framing a hip roof. I'm a framing junkie, but have never known how to frame this type of roof. I downloaded the Construction Master™ Pro app for my iPhone, and was able to follow along easily. Thank you!

This has got to be the best video I've seen on how to build a hip roof And use the calculator Good job expert advice

I've always been confused by this, however today was a turning page to understanding the process. I was able to make some solid connections for the first time which will allow for more future progress (will definitely be watching more than once lol). - Thank you so much for your explosive tutorial and phenomenal content! ✔️🔨💯🍉🌴⭐

One of the best clear explanations I have seen ,thankyou

This is a great video if you have ever had question about how to do this, this video is one of the best out there|

Bro God bless you. From pacific PACIFIC Papua New Guinea, we obviously use imperial but metric is our daily expression. I from a REMOTE rural DIY ,Really appreciate your brief lectures. Especially modeling out with lines to complement questions on on how materials and numbers plus lines would justify perfectly . Awesome !

thank you for your explaining of how to measure, calculate and cut the rafter, which helps to solve my question for my carpentry class a lot. best regards!!!

Great information, smart idea to break it down into chapters. That is very helpful... Thanks

I’ve seen a few of these videos and enjoy watching them. I dream of the day I can pitch a roof this accurately, but onsite, there are so many other variables to consider. However, you clearly know your stuff! Please make a video onsite showing how to pitch a hipped roof, with unequal pitches, unequal hip angles and pitched over wall plates that the bricklayers laid 🤦‍♂️

Thanks! I was able to put a hip roof over a small room with the help of your video.

It’s a Amazing video I really learn how easy it could be to get a perfect job done hope to watch more of your videos thank you !!

I have been watching roofing videos for many many years but, you are the only one who shows and explains exactly what and how it must be done. If there is a way I could send you two pictures of my roofing problem, would you please be able to show me or explain how I can repair them?

This is the best video ever, u just make a hip rafter and jack cut like a piece of cake. Thanks alot

thank you for sharing and explaining in detail every different steps on how to frame a roof. just like Rick Arnold you've done a fantastic job by showing and explaining. thumbs up!

It's so greatly explained that I've been able of understanding relying on my poor English. Wonderful !. Regards from Buenos Aires

great video, probably the clearest and simplest I've seen. Need a metric version of that calculator for the uk

Great explanation. Building for a long time and this was a great and clear description.

Great video, good details. New subscriber from a fellow creator. Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others to build something awesome! 👍🏼

Best "hip roof" video on youtube .......PERIOD!

Great video, thanks for posting and taking time to teach. You are a good teacher.

Not to take away from this informative video but I built a rectangular shed with a hip roof. I found a program on line that you input all your dimensions and I printed out layout and cutting templates for my miter saw. The results were amazing and didn't waist any wood.

Thank you so much, I liked the way how you teach. I learned some thing very interestig today. Greetings from Belize.

Love leaning from you you make it easy to understand ✌🏻👏🏻

VERY informative and helpful. Thank you.

Top notch video. You explain things very clearly. I’m building a hip roof on a new gazebo build and this explains what I need to do to a T. Thanks very much for your help. I subscribed to your channel.

brilliant video, i needed a bit of a refresher as im just building a hip roof on a pergola. thanks.

Yes, I like to build a shed. Just Good Job for your opinion

I finally understand…. Buy a construction calculator and you don’t need to memorize formulas, thanks for the tips! I actually learned something.

Great video! Thank you very much for sharing 👍🏻

Love your videos. Clear, concise and to the point. I have one question. When cutting the hip rafters you change the pitch from 6 - 12 to 6 -17. Does that apply to any pitch? For example would I use the same run (17) for a 5 -12 or a 4 -12? So 5 -17 or 4 -17 in this example.

Quick, but good. Thanks!

Love the way you make it so simple.

You're a wonderful teacher!! This helped me so much. Thank you!!

best explanation I've seen period

Superb . Best I’ve ever seen

Thank you. Your video is very informative and helpful.

Such a good tutorial video, how you calculate the ridge board length in hip and valley roof ? Thanks

You gave me enough information and courage to make my own patio shed. Do I need Rafter Ties or Ceiling Joists for 12X16 size shed? Could you please make a video on Rafter Ties Versus Ceiling Joists . Thank you again for your time and effort.

You make it look easy. Thanks

Outstanding! I have thoroughly enjoyed this video and have learned much! Many thanks. Semper Fi

Awesome you make it sound and look easy

Great video! Thank you! 😃👍🏻

This is a great video, I just had a oat tree fall on my house due to Huricane Ida and i have to rebuild part of my roof.

I have send your videos built two roofs on pavilions. Worked out great. Building a hip roof without ridge board everything joins in the center. It is working for me on this also thank you so much for your info. Sell some t shirts I want one

Good videos and break them into understanding my friend.

For sure this was a great video to explain and demonstrate these principles. I'm glad you explained what's the reason for the 17 inch rice for the hips and the 7/16 for the jacks. I watched a video that showed everything that you did but when it came to the part about the 17 inch rise and the 7/16 he wouldn't explain he just said it's like that because he said so. He was being childish about it if you ask me. It's good to know all of these explanations

The pitch is not just a matter of personal preference, it must take into account the weather of the place. The more snow you get on average, the higher the pitch. It is a good tip to match the pitch of the houses around you.

Just realized today the angle of incline on all of the various roof pitches is also the same angle you set your miter saw to if your cutting rafter ends for the corresponding roof pitch. A roof pitch of 5/12 has an angle of incline of 22.62 degrees. Set your miter saw to 22.62 degrees and cut an end of a board and you get corner angles of 112.62 degrees (heel) and 67.38 (toe) - which is the corner angles you want on your rafter ends for a 5/12 pitch roof.

Best vid on this subject by far! Thank you!

You explained it correctly good job. Not sure why nobody backs there hips anymore, especial on 4 x hips, instead of dropping the hip. Only takes another 15 minutes or so. I have not watched any other videos, another trick, if you don't know this ,, for a cut that is over 45 degrees on the saw, lets say 60 degrees.. you can first cut a 45 and than a 15 to get 60.

This was a great video you are a great teacher wish to see a video on laying out the wall for.

What a great video thanks men ...

Dude, u r awsome. Teach em make the videos n make sure it reach em!

Omg i now finally understood these things. Thank you!!🎉

Exactly what I was thinking 👀

damn..dude u are a good carpenter looks easy but could be impossible for beginners like me great video and explain thx 😅

Thank you very much bro

Great video 👍👍

Well explained man i have learn so much in this video

Hello, I like you explain, how about making one side high roofing, and the other side is lower. Hope to see you soon. Thank you

On concrete blocks walls, how far apart would you generally install anchor bolts to tie down the top plate?

Really Good Video! Thank you so much… I’ll get my sweater from you guys.!

helping with my apprenticeship thank you

The difference between teaching and instructing. A teacher labels things you need to understand to proceed, an instructor pretends they don’t need to reinforce that knowledge as you get lost in the middle of their instruction.

Great explanation

Brilliantly explained! 55 and not done many roofs .

Great video.very well explained bro

Best demonstration

Thank you for the information, like.

Very interesting, I followed most of it but it is a long time since I used imperial.

Dude you're awesome, thank you.

amazing thank you.

This helped me sooooo much

Such a great way of explaining!

Pythagoras would be proud

Nice explanation

One of the best videos. 👌 one question though......why does no one put the dihedral angle on the hip rafter no more 🤔

Thank you for this information in construction brother love it

Great video

Great video. Thank you.

Your jack rafters are 7/16ths short because you entered the adjusted common rafter length into your calculator instead of the full run dimension
