How to Cut A Hip Jack Rafter: Part 3 Of How to Build a Hip Roof

[@constructivainspections]

As an inspector I call out bad cuts all day long, but you've showed me how to do it right!

I enjoy hearing from construction guys in the field. Thanks for commenting.

That was sheer beauty! Preach on! TB!

This is one of those videos when you know I'm thinking to myself, 'This is why I'm putting a flat roof on my shed!' 😂 Seriously though, I'm glad you're busy on the job! Like I told you a week ago, you don't always have to respond back with a comment. I know you're busy! You can give my comments a 'channel heart', or just an emoji. And most of your subs probably understand that, too. You make quality videos, TBC! We appreciate that! Just Keep On Keeping On!! 👍👍

I love this kind of stuff related to framing lumber. It’s inspiring and it makes me want to quit my desk job to get into this trade. Shoutout from rockwall!!

Well, several experts predict that artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics will replace a lot of blue and white collar jobs by 2030. So it might be beneficial to learn a trade. Thanks for commenting.

Honestly, I have ZERO knowledge about building roofs, and truthfully, I've always been scared of roof building because there are just so many angles and precision cuts. However, with ZERO KNOWLEDGE and ZERO EXPERIENCE, I can safely say that your instructional video is above EXCELLENT. 👏 Not only did I learn how to use and read a new tool, but I was able to completely understand your calculations; especially the part about 16ths. ✨ In other words, you successfully transferred usable and practical knowledge to someone who knew absolutely nothing before this video was posted. And that my friend is a major achievement. Well done as always.🎉

I am a finish carpenter ( contractor) and this is one of the best teaching videos I hv seen in a bit! Spencer Lewis, Tim Uhler, Kyle Stumpinghorse, and you ! If you know any of those names then you do know social media strength. Some ppl are great carpenters , some can teach? Rarely you find a man that can do both ! I am all in !

I try to subscribe to every Carpenter channel on KZbin. I am aware of the guys you mentioned. They are great Carpenters. I really enjoy hearing from tradesmen and contractors like yourself. Thank you for the motivating words, and I appreciate your commenting

You have any demo vids

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

I have few demolition videos. However I will plan to add these in the future. Thanks for commenting

What I need to understand is how to come up with the next jack rafter

[@templebuilderscarpentry7043]

Subtract that same number you got off the framing square again to get the next size jack rafter. Thanks for commenting.

That was the headache and alot of the roofers who are making these videos haven't been able to break it down for the laymen who can't handle the math, I do it both ways for jack rafters first one by doing the long math the next and simplest just deduct 1/2 of an inch from my (oc number)from the ridge pole down slope of my common rafter so in other words if my on center is 12 I deduct 1/2 inch from 12 from the ridge leaving me with 111/2 inches, that is only for the first jack where your deduction will be 111/2 inches deducted from your common rafter remember guys we are using squares every time so for the second jack you will deduct 12 inches from the overall first jack length and 12 inches deducted from the second and 3rd and fourth until you are out of jack space, doing it this way cuts out the step off method.

[@jimmyreid6516]

In case I wasn't clear on how to do the oc method I don't pull my measurement from center to center I hook my tape measure from the inside of my first common rafter to the long point of the first jack ,not that I would need to actually do it on the roof because I already know my formula so I would just do my first deduction on the common then keep deducting the rest of the jacks, that gives me the opportunity of cutting all my jack without having to recheck anything
