Marking and Cutting out a Rafter - Roofing

A procedure for marking out and cutting a rafter by hand - the main timber in a timber framed, pitched roof. This demonstration is on a model sized rafter and meant for beginners or handy people to help get the idea. It is not meant to be a full size rafter with a roofing square or I would have used one. I hope this is helpful to some people. ;)

Thanks for the comments people, but this video is meant for beginners to get an idea of setting out and cutting a rafter. Pre-apprentices and apprentices who don't do it much at work, and the odd handy man, perhaps. Yes, it is a model house and things would obviously change a bit on site. Hopefully it's been helpful to some people.

You know that is not a bad idea for someone to build a model of a small shed just to learn how to do it.

They can practice and waste ten bucks just to learn how not be out much.

_all this video for just one angled cutting? WTF?and next what you are going to use it for? next you are going to tell us how to hold a hammer and thrust a nail?

do you know how to use a toothpick and what is it for?

sorry pops, but this videos are so retarded kinda snail learning pase, and needs more direction! every body can find out how to use a drop saw, and cutting out rafters!

explain this in a process while yo get to build something more functional and elaborated that would make it
