We don't use old growth timbers any more, its farmed softwoods and OSB and so on, so the techniques need to adjust to materials. We also know a lot more about engineering, so where Larry's house may not have survived a tornado, a modern house may. That's a design factor, not a sloppy builder. Larry was very clear about following the code and said so constantly. If the code changes over time, so would have Larry.

There is nothing wrong with overcutting a birds-mouth the way Larry did it. The tail was still 500% stronger than it needed to be. He saved 10 steps doing that. He and his 2 brothers framed one house per day, every day, for years, mostly nailing by hand Try that before commenting on “work habits”.

It's only difficult for those that don't use it. I don't need a calculator to do 1/16" conversion because I use it all the time. The same goes for using cups/pints/quarts/etc. I rarely need to convert inches to feet since every measuring tape I own has both and I'm sure he doesn't either. There are numerous short cuts for these calculations that he isn't showing in order to explain them. The imperial system is so easy to learn we teach children in the United States how to use both it and the metric system. The imperial system is based on biological averages. I can use parts of my body to rough out measurements. My index finger middle joint is about 1" long (25mm). My foot is about .. a foot (30cm). It's about a yard from my outstretched hand to my nose, a fathom between my hands. When I walk, it's about 5' between two steps, so I can measure out the distance. Very handy when playing golf. One hundred degrees is just about the average body temperature. We could just as easily use decimal-marked imperial tools. Why don't we?? Because the imperial measuring system is based on powers of two. It's pretty darn easy to divide things by half or double. The fractions aren't that difficult for people that do it all the time. And, as you noticed, if it's within 1/16", it's close enough for most woodworking. If I am working with metal, I might measure in metric or I might switch to measuring devices that use decimal values instead of fractions. Most of my digital measuring devices can display in metric and either decimal or fractional imperial. Here is the US, we teach metric and imperial in our schools. We give our citizens the option to use either. All products sold have both metric and imperial measurements on them. Almost every thermometer has centigrade and Fahrenheit. When I cook, I tend to weigh things and use grams when I'm making bread. But I'm just as capable of using a button on the scale to change to pounds/ounces if I prefer. All of my measuring cups have liters, cups, pints, quarts, and fluid ounces. The US has historically chosen freedoms over the need for the government to babysit them and tell them what is best for them. I believe that started almost 250 years ago when we told the British that we would just do things our way and they can leave us alone. In the 70s when the government tried to tell us to switch to metric, we told them to shove off.

I eventually devised my own system, and it works, but a real rafter-man would cringe at my technique 😣. But, it wasn’t really my fault. When I learned to frame, the boss was the ‘roof-cutter-guy’ and never had the time to show me (or anyone else for that matter) how it was done. And he was good at it. I do remember that. He would have the entire roof cut in before we even had all the joists on the walls. Including all the hip/val jack-rafters. It always amazed me.

But I've always had a lingering fear in the back of my head that I would be biting off just a bit more than I could manage, until now.

This seems very archaic to convert from fractional to decimal. Calculate a length. Then, convert from decimal to fractional. But, a carpenter's square, what a fantastic tool.

I have seen you use that tiger Sawzall so many times in many videos . I have one that is a 3rd generation , my grandfather gave it to my dad and he framed houses for years with it . I have it now with the original case . Best Sawzall I've ever used I love that thing . Glad to see someone else has had many of years of use out of one .

Yeah, you already have the measurement there. but then multiply part of it with 16 to get something you can read on a thing that is meant to measure stuff. I am blown away with how people put up with all these conversions. On the other hand. they can multiply and combine fractions way better than I can.

Now I remember why I was a mudder not that my mudder was a mudder, but I was a mudder so as to hide all the flaws of those who couldn't do math. So if you can't do math become a mudder even though your mudder will probably not not thrilled, because you are a mudder. By the way you can be a mudder whether you are a male or female unless you are a mudder.

Good video guys! And besides the metric and imperial system of measurement that a lot of people are raving on about, what about “Pitch ratios v Pitch in degrees”! Using metric and Understanding the degree calculation method can be easily applied to Roofing and many other areas of carpentry, engineering, architecture etc etc etc. Im in my 60s now but Roof was and still is one of my favourite sports, so just for the craic, half span for this roof in the video is 2984.5mm, 2984.5 / cos (33.69) = 3587mm. And back to inches and the rafter length is 141, 7/32 inches!
