    I have done a lot of work in fixing my home and helping friends do theirs, but I was concerned when it came to replacing my roof with the right pitch and cuts. Your video was the best one I have seen so far. You made it easy to understand. Thank you.

    FAAAAANTASTIC! Since the cold weather where I live this spring, I decided I need a greenhouse; I want to build my own, of course, but pondered how on earth I would figure out the pitch, etc. Figured I would learn by my own mistakes, then I came across your excellent video. You made all of this very clear to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for you deep explanations of all involved. I am a woman of 69 years of age and I've always believed in doing things myself. Thanks again, Alex.

  • @MoooHamMad
    @MoooHamMad 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I watched plenty of videos on how to use the rafter square but none were good enough either because the camera was too far away or because the person explaining went too fast on the details and they had a mess of lines on the same piece of wood, adding to the confusion. Finally I found this gem of a video. You used the camera in perfect positions to appreciate what exactly I have to look for using the square and your explanation is rich in detail. You're a natural teacher, thank you bro!

    Many thanks !!! I have watched several other videos on rise and run and could only grasp some of it. !! Wow...this is the # 1 best video for showing in simple terms how to calculate and build your rafters properly. Thank God I found your video. All the other ones were too fast paced and not easy to understand....they were very intimidating !! I started to doubt whether I had the brains in the first place...[ I stubbornly did not give up on myself ] . Wow...so happy now. Read Proverbs 22 :29....it talks about a skilled craftsman...thank you Alex...highest regards, Lisa

    thank you. Finally, I found a proper explanation of how to find the angle cut, I spent a whole fkg day watching videos seeking for the answer. If I wanna 20-inch rise on 5f run I use 4/12, if I wanna 40-inch rise I use 8/12, want 24-inch on 8f I use 3/12 on speed square

    Like the rest who came before me, I was looking to learn how to measure and cut rafters. This is a very good instructional video and I just wanna add a suggestion to make it even better. With that square measurement, it will be great to call pitch (the tongue) and run (the 12”)..Great video

    I am going to ditto most of the comments before me. I have watched a bunch of videos on making rafters. I plan on building an 8x10 shed, and trying to soak up as much info as possible. The item you may have touched on are the rafters without a birds mouth. Why would and where would you use them. Thanks again for your time making the video.
