Many have already said it, but I'm here to say it again - what an outstanding presentation. The camera work, editing and sound, along with clear, concise explanations for each step make yours among the BEST construction videos out there. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing, and for being the kind of teacher that makes learning FUN -

builders ,carpenters ,enggniers ,architechs..............they all keep on talking about runs,rise ,calculations,expensive equipments,tTrignometry and all load of things Joe you are a superstar ,you just takes all those things out of equation man ,hats off ,what a video and every one should learn how to cut the rafter No complicated maths or anything well done Joe

I love the way you have your carpenters helper in the out takes. Teaching kids how to work is one of a father’s most fundamental responsibilities. God job man

Damn, quickest and simplest rise over run explanation I've ever heard.

"oh jeez, I know what it's called..." Birdsmouth. BIRDSMOUTH! Really liked the video - this version of how to measure & cut a birdsmouth actually made sense.

Absolutely no bull crap! Just clear, concise instruction that even I can understand. I'm so glad you don't waste our valuable time with rhetoric and hyperbole. You da man!

Absolutely most logical, clear and concise instructions on a practical way of going about laying out a lean to roof.

All the rich chickens will want to live there.

I love when I thought I never get it and here you are make it clear for someone like me... Thank you!

You are so welcome!

Excellent video, thank you. I had 4 books telling me to "do a birdsmouth" for the shed rafters without explaining how to do one. This video was exactly what I needed.

Very, very clear, I was able to follow every step with my speed square and a demo piece of wood. I am not building a coop or chicken mansion, but a free-standing awning at my front and back door. this has been the most simple version of a single angle roof I have been able to find. Thanks so much

This was the best explanation for birds mouths I've see yet

Over 2 years on and people are still getting so much value from this! Thanks man, great work 👍

Best tutorial I've seen. You know it when you've watched it all the way through, then realized you've watched it before because there's already a thumbs up. Nice pacing, clear, easy to follow. Thank you!!

Out of all the videos Ive listen to this one makes the most sense and you do so well at explaining everything for someone like me that isn't that great with math. Really appreciate your teaching it will go a long way in helping me get though my project.

I’m building a woodshed, but have a couple of challenges on the roof pitch. Found your video, and it cleared it up on how to do right and easy. Thanks!

Best instructional video of How to cut a birds mouth for shed rafters! The lightbulb clicked on in my head for the speed square tips too!

Thanks for the tips. I'm a complete novice when it comes to wood working and we are building an 10x8 coop, and I was stuck with the roof. This reference is going to be great.

Wow, now here’s a man who knows how to treat Chickens, good job!

Was planning to build one as that but hated to calculate where to fix the birds mouth. You made it so simple without math. Thanks. Top teacher.

Thank you for posting this!! I am building a similar style run to the end of our coop and using this lean to style rafter. Your demo was better than the dozen odd prior ones I watched to get the moxie up to do this project. Like you, my daughters were "helping" oversee quality control. Going to cut these tomorrow and will definitely do a practice piece before cutting into my 2x6s.

Great instructor! Best Bird's Mouth instruction I've seen so far! Thanks

I'm soon to rebuild a porch that has gone to rot. Your methods and tips will save me hours of frustration. Thank for the video.

Excellent will help me with my future pigeon loft builds

Birds mouth explanation is great! Many different ways to do it but this way is great.

Joe simple with a simple explanation of rafters. Thanks! 🙌

Geez I already learned so much in the first 2 minutes and 35 seconds.

Hi an excellent demonstration will help me immensely. I'm using this video to help me when I build a skillion porch including the purlins for the eaves, directly off my skillion conservatory. You are an excellent tutorial tutor. Thank you so much for helping me today I really appreciate it.

Excellent - clear and no waste and adaptable for numerous other applications.

great job explaining the birds mouth and how to cut it. Thank you.

Best video on Bird's Nest cuts. Thank you!

That was the best video I have seen when it comes to making the birds mouth.. I truly appreciate you taking a time to make this video

Found this while looking up ideas for building a bbq shed roof. Great info and cool idea for the purlins. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the info!

I was building a coop also and you helped me a lot to put the roof on. Thanks!

This is the clearest, best communicated training on birdsmouth i have seen (out of seven). Thank you.

Oh thank god. I found exactly what I've been searching for. Thank you.

Best visual tutorial I've seen yet. Thanks, Joe! You're the effing man!!!

I just stumbled upon your video, and glad I did. The way you explain each step in simple terms is outstanding, especially for those like myself with limited building experience. This video would have been a game changer for me when building my 10 x 24 firewood lean-to shed last summer. The idea of doing birds mouth cuts intimidated me, so I used hurricane ties instead. The way you explained it and the detailed use of the speed square (never knew how to use one) was excellent and I would have given it a go. I just kept shaking my head while watching this and kept thinking, I would have done a few things differently with my shed (like adding the purlins to accommodate a longer eave) cause you explained its so well. I have only found a few channel to subscribe to, and you have now been added to that list! Thanks, and looking forward to checking out your other videos.

I am honored to be on your sub list! don't beat your self up I defiantly went over board on this build (always do). Plus I knew I was going to move it around with the tractor so it needed to be strong. for a wood shed straps will work just fine.

Joe Simple awesome vid!!! Same here wish I saw this video before my build I too used hurricane straps on my slanted roof. I think the hurricane straps will hold just fine however next time bird’s mouth cuts for sure!

Thank you for explaining it in simple English, vs the over the top mathematical gibberish (to me) most of these videos have. I've used speed squares my whole life (not a framer), never knew that the mark on the other side of the 2 was the degree, and none of these other videos states that which is very simple... One has the "pythagorean theorem" to explain it instead. Well, if I knew wtf that was I wouldn't be looking at these videos would I? Appreciate you.

Well explained. I’m not a tradesman, just a pen pusher and but this guy made it so simple that I think I can finally build my outdoor storage

Thanks for all you do Joe. Your tips helped me understand and build our roof for our chicken coop.

I am converting a shed to a hen house & adding an outside run. I loved the way you measured out a template, that's kinda how I do things too Making these cuts were so intimidating; so I was looking into pitch connectors (easy way out), but you just saved me a good bit of money. You were so detailed in how to do this, I think I can handle it now. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

Dang, I feel so stupid now. I'm 63 and by no means a carpenter but I've scabbed a few boards together in my years. I always wondered how to make the roof look nice and I guess I'm never too old to learn. Thank you, I'm in the process of building a simple 8x20 pole barn type lean to, this video will be watched at least 14 times while I try to replicate the rafters...thanks.

This is the best rafter cutting video on KZread. I’ve watched them all. You didn’t over complicate it and that helped so much!

Learned a few things there. Thanks for filming, Andy

Really appreciate the video. I just finished the lean to roof on a duck pen using the steps you outlined. Thanks!

Cheers for taking the time to put this together, I'll be using the tips over here in the UK for my garden shed 👍👏

BEST simple explanation ever !

Subscribed after only watching this one video. Best one I've seen on cutting a birds mouth for idiots! Really helpful, so thank you!

You do an excellent job explaining things , I enjoy watching others work now after having worked in construction many years ! A little trick an old time carpenter showed me is to keep a heavy old time rasp handy! I did a lot of birds mouth cuts and kerfs for ledgers . Knock the wood out with your hammer and then hit the birds mouth or notch cut with rough side of rasp and flip it over and smooth side rasp the shoulder to heel cut . Takes the little scrap out of the corner and levels things up nice on notches . The rasp will do in seconds what you did with wood chisel ! Try it ,you'll like it !

I truly respect old world craftsmanship, always admire diligence in appearance and fit. You are definitely a craftsman. With that said, and considering time is valuable and sometimes more modern brackets are exponentially more robust than wood to wood fitments, I’d point to the use of metal prefab brackets between your top plate and rafters. Sold by most lumber stores, they are called “18-Gauge ZMAX Galvanized Hurricane Tie”. Sell for $1.25 each. Huge time saver, bearing strength of 1100 pounds each.

Thank you so much for your video! You are a great teacher... you get to the point and make it easy to understand without going into a long, drawn out explanation. I've watched several other videos on how to install lean to rafters and the instructions were too drawn out, yours made is so easy to comprehend.

Tks for info puts me in right direction. God bless you for yor free knowledge.

thank you for your video, it helped us do the bird's mouths on the rafters for our first new small house! very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for making this clear and easy to understand especially using the speed square for cutting out angles . I have never done this before , it’s my first shed self build and you have made it understandable . Thank you ❤️🤗❤️

Very good video. I’m an interior guy with little to no roof framing experience. This helped me out so much. Very easy to fallow along. Thank you.

Nice video. Straight to the point, clear instruction, good camera work, good audio, no crazy music, no flashing lighting bolts, etc. Good job.

i CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH "FROM THE CLOUDS CAME CLARITY"; PATRICK.P

Now that I saw the 'outtakes' at the end of this video, I would say it took a little bit longer to build ! LOL Good stuff on the speed square !

You are a good teacher, your voice is calm, good personality, get the attention to the end, this is what a call "Lo mejor de lo mejor" (The best of the best).

@@troyna77 the ten degrees is for the 2/12 pitch and it is also for a metal roof so don’t use it for a shingled roof. Buy a speed square and use the common section and the pitch you use just look at the degrees below it and it’ll tell you the matching degrees when you’re lined up on your common pitch at same time so you’ll know how to set up skill or table or chop saws pitch.

Thank you thank you thank you! I needed this simplicity.

Thank you! Great explanation, that was a big help for me.! The chickens are gonna love their mansion!

What a great explanation. Especially the explanation of the speed square and the pitch. Use the speed square a lot and never knew that. First shed roof for me and the especially the rafters. Just made a lot of walls. Big thumbs up...

Very helpful. Where I leave most of the year we have a nice weather. But for to do my projects and keep me out of the sun; I'm going to build a 10' by 16' cover roof starting from a concrete wall. You gave me pretty good ideas how to notch the rafters to seat well on the beam that I planning to use. Well explained 👍🏽 Thank you for share your knowledge and keep up!👍🏽

After uploading our how to video on how to install roof water barrier on a newly constructed house, your video was suggested which I'm glad it did.

Nice little video. I like to use my jig saw for those kinds of little cuts, because I don't have to adjust the blade depth usually. A skill saw works too, and saves time when cutting multiple boards at once! Great job!
