This is an excellent video. Thank you for showing us how to use the equations instead of just punching numbers into a construction calculator.

Glad you found me!

2nd Year Carpenter here. I'm currently in school learning this stuff and I found your videos very helpful! One thing that I might add to this is that calculating your Slope Gain Factor is a game changer for calculating your rafter length. The equation is (Rise/Run)Squared+1, then square root. This is your slope gain factor. For example a 4/12 has a SGF of 1.054, meaning the cut rafter length is 1.054 times the length of the rafter run. So 24.25 x 1.054 would calculate your rafter length from ridge to birds mouth. You can even add your overhang to the rafter run length to get your total rafter length from ridge to facia. You will need to do deductions afterwards, of course. But its a little less math. You can also find the SGF of your hips the same way but adding 2 instead. (I forget the reason exactly, I was falling asleep at that point in the Theory.) So that would be (4/12)Squared+2, then square root. 1.453 is the SGF of your hip rafter. Hope this helps anyone learning how to calculate rafters!

The channel is excellent, I always follow. The biggest difficulty is due to the measurement system, here in Brazil we use meters and centimeters. This video has measurements in mm which makes it easier to understand.

Hi Josh First off thanks for all your videos it helped me get through an apprenticeship that I took about a year ago. Just wondering you haven't uploaded any new material. One thing I would love would be a build like a shed or just a shed foundation. Anyway I hope to hear from you soon.

Hey buddy! I've been working on my first online woodworking course (handheld routers)... which is now done! Therefore, I can get back to making some more YT content. Most likely a shed build would be an online course... so much to cover. Thanks for the comment! Reach out if you need anything.

Good stuff.

Im confused about where you got the 7.75 number. Does this number only pertain to a 4/12 pitch. Will it change with a 3/12 pitch? Your instructions are very clear. Im just confused. I love the videos. Thank you.

Great videos, thank you. I'm building a garden shed, using a 13ft 12 by 6 inch ridge beam (locally harvested). Using normal methods of rafter construction, I would be left with a 6 inch wide flat surface on the top of the ridge, which would be difficult to sheath prior to applying roofing material. How do I measure the rafters so that they meet at the center point above the ridge beam. Are there 2 bird mouths, one for the ridge and one for the exterior wall, or only one for the exterior wall?

@TrainingHandsAcademy

9 ай бұрын

Yes, two "birds mouths". All you have to do is not account for the ridge thickness in your run number, then locate your ridge height and cut your birds mouth. Hope that makes sense.

Idk how I came across your page I still don't know a dang thing of what u just taught me, though I completely understood what you were saying math was my hardest subject probably the reason I'm still broke. But I just wanna say thanks man. Though I will find a way to defeat this battle or the almighty will help me if I try, I've been wondering how to fix my dad's tin shed/shop just don't have the courage to tell him I don't know how. But God bless you sir.

How to join rafters if my wood is short or it is permitted?

Hello, I'm building a shed and find your videos so helpful. Any chance you can help me with a question. The shed is 16 feet x 10 feet and is almost 8 feet high. My ridge needs to be 16 feet long. My question is for that size of shed, what is sufficient for the ridge? 2x6x16 or 2x8x16 enough? Or do I need to go 2x10x16? Also, I'm using 2x4 as rafters. Thank you. Romeo Suarez
