Thank you for these videos!! Best ones I've come across. We did the heartwood scribe class together and you told me about these video. Curious, If you cover rafter drawing in any of these?
I currently do not have any specific rafter videos, but I really should make a few. Common rafters would be an easy video. Compound stuff like hips and valleys would make for a fairly long video, but there are some shortcuts that would save the average user a lot of head scratching. If you’ve subscribed, stay tuned.
I'm playing around with a 2 post pergola with a 2, 12 pitch, with 45 at the bottom of the knee brace, and funky 35 degree at top, how would you draw that?
You would use the protractor tool to make a guideline projected from the top the post. It’s not hard, but is hard to explain in words. If you select the protractor tool, then click once on the outer corner of the top of the post, then slide your mouse to the inner corner of the same edge of the post top, click once then move your mouse upward to get a tilted guideline, then type 2:12, then enter. You will get a dashed guideline representing the slope. You could also type 9.46, enter (which is the angle of a 2:12 slope). I find it easier to just do 2:12. Once you have a guideline representing the correct slope, you can pull additional parallel guidelines to outline your rafter, then use line tool to enclose the rafter. Once rafter is drawn you can use a similar process to draw a 45 degree line to represent the brace. I’ll try to put together a short tutorial. If you can somehow send me an image of what your trying to do, I’ll customize the tutorial to your design.
@@bigbeamstimberframes770 I'm thinking it's a free design off timber frame headquarters site, I'm modifying it a bit, cause ultimately I'm gonna hang kayaks on it

Loved the video and the shed design. How can I find more about the design?

USMCdaddy Steve how many kayaks will go on it?
@@bigbeamstimberframes770 3, I'm figuring 3 arms per post 24" on the same pitch as the roof, using 4x6, 6x6 posts, 6x6 tie beam 6' inside to inside
USMCdaddy Steve how long is your proposed roof (front to back)? Also, how long would you want the arms that hold the kayaks?
