How to set out and cut a bastard hip***NO MATHS REQUIRED***Roof framing UK
In this video I show how I go about setting out, cutting and fitting a bastard hip on a small, lean to roof.
The video contains tips which, I hope, may help others when attempting, what can be a confusing part of roofing carpentry.

Hi Dermot🖐It's my pleasure bud, and I appreciate you watching and your great comment 😎 Cheers Del
Perfect as usual. I was never as accurate as you, but have pitched many bastard hips. Both full hips. And floating hips. As with you. I start with the common rafter. That lets you work out the birdsmouth and soffit detail. I used to play with offcuts to get it right. Cut over length rafter. Set at pitch. Intersection with other pitch gives you last rafter on that side. Fix that in. You have the height of the birdsmouth from the common. So I cut a dummy hip end out of offcuts. Using a straight edge clamped to the rafter run you can move the dummy bottom about until it is in the same plane as the other pitch. That gives you the position of the bastard corner. Pin the dummy on in that position. And pull a string line from top to top of dummy. Take bevels off string line for angles of cut. You go way better than me working out exact back cut and dead centre. I would just put the side cut and call that close enough. Measure length. Cut and install. Jack cuts just work out from a roofing square 90 off the plate and a bevel. Yours would be perfect. Mine have worked many times. Difference between a tradie and a craftsman.

The exact finish of the cuts is almost irrelevant Dave, as its all held together with nails anyway👊(I admit I do like to get my cuts as tight as I can😁) What does matter is having a clear understanding, as you clearly have, of the fundamental differences between a regular hip and an irregular hip, as that is where I see a lot of guys go wrong😵As always, thanks for watching and another cool comment😎Cheers

Sorry i couldnt watch it al because its what i do all day everyday , strike your hip through the corner of the face brickwork , this should make the soffit shallower along the steeper pitch but this will be compensated by having a higher fascia for more kick on the tiles , basically within a knats the soffit will come out the same , sometimes a sprocket is required or just accept a change in soffit depth . 30 years everyday and i very rarely set out a bastard via the soffit but i you must then strike your hip through that point . Brickwork at this level is rarely good so i always try and lose any discrepancy in the soffit , an eye will pick up 10mm in fascia movement from the ground or any roll off in the tile kick but never see’s a change in soffit depth you can lose 30-40 mm in 5m , sometimes you have to 🤷🏻♂️ Good work mate keep it up 👍

There are numerous (craft) problems where a theoretical approach (using maths say) is just not applicable. This bastard hip project demonstrates that so well and it is the measure of a craftsman who can surmount difficult or novel problems using basic tools and fundamental skills. I particularly appreciate watching and learning the practical application from you and your fellow craftsmen and in that sense have the best of both worlds. Most grateful for your response and will continue to tune in to your future projects!

Fantastic video! Many thanks to you! Really enjoy seeing your practical solutions and no nonsense commentary. I was intrigued to see you lay the crown rafter up so that the underside of the rafter could be used as a rod: I do this all the time on roofs. I generally tack a couple of 4 x 2 off-cuts (to stand in for the HAP) on the plate and lay the template rafter on top and over the ridge; you can then mark both plumb cuts and the seat cut with a bit of batten. Both the bird's mouth and ridge cuts are always spot on. No ready reckoners, new-fangled apps. or expensive roofing squares needed! Another thing: I notice you sport a gas pipe hammer holder/loop. Who came up with those I wonder? I've had mine for years; they're indestructible. Might be worthy of a 'short' or 'how to' video in the future... Much obliged to you!

Hi Stevie🖐It was such a juggling act to get the main roof pitch over 20° but still fit under the window plus have enough lead flashing upstand🤯I think trying to get all those measurements right for trusses would have been more complicated than cutting in the bastard hip😵💫Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del
You’re a clever lad Del Boy. (Also Nice work sorting those bastard cyclists) 👍

Thank you Philip👍Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del
Love your work del. Always learn new ways of working things out when I watch your videos! Have you ever used or heard of construction master calculator? I use it all the time now. Just done a 50deg to 70 deg valley and using the calculator I can enter both pitches and it will give me plumb and seat cuts for the hip and also the cheek cut angles. I've found it very useful when doing bastard hips and valleys etc. Wouldn't mind showing you some day if wanted to see etc. Quality work again! Also when I do the steep jack cuts ill cut the angle for the shallower side opposite to the way I want my steep bevel to be, then run along that cut with circ saw set to 90 if you understand me?! Cheers. Adam.

Hi Adam🖐Yes, I have heard of the construction calculator but never looked into getting/using one as I get on alright without it😬but that's not to say, as you suggest, that it won't make things easier for me if I learned how to use one🤔 And I do know what you mean about achieving the 61° cut by passing the saw through a 29° cut with the saw set at 90° as its a method I use and will be showing in a future video👍Thanks for your great comment and for watching 😎 Cheers Del

If you set up the two roofs first, then you can add the hip and scribe everything else to it. No measuring required. Just cut the scribe lines. I don't know the angles because I don't need to know them.
