Thank Mate, im glad you are finding them useful

[@charlesmace9811]

I’m a 3rd year apprentice carpenter and these videos are crucial to excelling my knowledge and excelling Couldn’t thank you enough for the time you have put in! Thank you Charles

[@Buildsum]

Thanks for your comment Charles, I'm glad you like them and that they are helping.

You have been so helpful with my studies!!!! Much appreciated!! keep up the good work mate

[@Buildsum]

Great to hear Max, thanks for your comment.

[@vaai_design-build-ltd]

How you use sketchup to educate is awesome.

[@Buildsum]

Hi Jay, thanks for your comments

[@BillyMustang101]

Roofing is so easy but why do the masses get it so wrong. Very nice video with a clear explanation yet people still don't get it. Greetings from a UK master carpenter

[@Buildsum]

Thanks, Martin, Glad you like it, good to see that it translates overseas as well, yeah sometimes I just think people over think the process.

[@TheToolnut]

Roofing isn't supposed to be for the masses, it's supposed to be for craftsmen, 👍💪🔨🇮🇪

HI mate, just gone through the calculations , when i calculate half of minor span i get 1768 mm but it looks like you get 1841 mm is that correct ,its just confused me however i like how you explain stuff

[@Buildsum]

Hi Micheal, good pick up, that must be another one of those deliberate mistakes that I use to see if people are actually paying any attention to my videos ;). Hopefully, no one will be building this exact roof so just going through the should be OK. I will make a note on the Video to let other knows. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@TheSifuDean]

Love your videos - very informative. One question - do you have one on Stumps? Placement, sizing, materials etc?

[@Buildsum]

Hi, Thanks for your comments, unfortunately i don't have anything on Stumps, Sorry.

[@markmarriott4720]

Hi, great videos. very informative with detailed explanations. I was looking back through your videos and noticed a while ago you did a step by step section video on contructing a brick veneer building. Any chance you could do something similar for a hebel panel construction video? Thanks Keep up the good work!

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mark, thanks for your kind comments. To be honest I have never done a Hebal building before however from what I have seen and read the Hebal essentially just replaces the brickwork. The main change would be that the slab would not need the step to support the Brickwork as the Hebal is supported by the timber frame. Thanks for the idea I will put it on the to-do list, however, I can't see myself getting around to it in the near future, sorry.

[@markmarriott4720]

ok, thanks

[@ZubiDubi-g3c]

Informative video. .. .I'm a truss designer it's a pleasure if I can help in any case of trusses designing

[@Buildsum]

Thanks Mate, have you seen the videos i did on trusses, are they ok? Is there anything else i could add? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZXRnWOfopJ2q8k&pp=gAQBiAQB Thanks

[@franklinarguedas4832]

Hi, I am not understanding how you obtained the 1,841 mm. Where did that come from? Can you please explain that? Also the 659 mm, how did you get that, please?The half span of the minor roof is 3537/2= 1,768,5 mm, not 1,841? Can you please explain? Regards,. Franklin

[@Buildsum]

Hi Franklin, that video has been up for 5 years and you are the first to point that out. You are correct it should be 1.769m. The 659 is the difference between the 1/2 Major span and 1/2 minor span which will now be 731mm. Hope this helps

[@jordanhughes6768]

hi mate your videos have helped me loads, being able to see how the trigonometry forms the roof has helped me grasp cutting roofs much easier, on a hipped roof to obtain the ridge length my boss deducts the span from the length and adds the thickness of the ridge back onto this calculation, he adds this back on to make the common rafters work as its whats being deducted to make them fit in between the ridge board, does doing this interfere with the center lines etc for hips ? i am struggling to visualize this if you can help me cheers

[@Buildsum]

HI Jordan, this would only work if the ridge and the rafters are the same sizes. If they aren't then you have to add the thickness of the Rafter to make the centrelines work. This is because the centre line of the roof runs up the centre of the rafters, therefore, you have to add half the rafter thickness on each end so the ridge extends to the outside of the rafters It really doesn't relate to the deduction of half the ridge for the rafter length. Hope this helps

[@markmarriott4720]

Great videos. Wouldnt the ridge length for the main roof be 2135mm if using 35mm rafters? Half span = 2500. Outside wall to outside wall = 7100mm minus 2500mm minus 2500mm plus half rafter thickness 17.5mm plus half rafter thickness at the other end 17.5mm. Ridge length = 2135mm

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mark, thanks, Yes that would be correct as per this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHy7i6uOmKqFn7M

[@syedarefin5181]

which software did you use to model this demonstration? Thank you

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, i use SketchUp for all my drawings

[@nickpersaud7065]

Do the pitch of the roof change if u have broken hips

[@Buildsum]

Hi Nick, no the pitch stays the same, it is just the width of the sections of the building that change.

[@nickpersaud7065]

Thanks

[@frasershark]

so confused.

[@Buildsum]

Hi, basically because the hips are at 45 degrees you can use that to get the required lengths from the walls. Its just a matter of adding up the sections that you require.
