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 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.

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 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.
