BIRDS MOUTH & PURLINS Cutting The Roof | Chicken coop build PART- 4

[@chuckyt9083]

Absolutely no bull crap! Just clear, concise instruction that even I can understand. I'm so glad you don't waste our valuable time with rhetoric and hyperbole. You da man!

[@TheShawntuthill]

My thoughts exactly!

[@atlanteum]

Many have already said it, but I'm here to say it again - what an outstanding presentation. The camera work, editing and sound, along with clear, concise explanations for each step make yours among the BEST construction videos out there. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing, and for being the kind of teacher that makes learning FUN -

My words precisely!! You and I are cut from the same cloth….I have almost all the same tools and belt! Just bought the Diamondback belt. Light and tough as nails!! I got the remodels version- LOVE all the pockets!!

[@thomasschafer7268]

Yes .in 1970 it would be a idea! But not i 2023. Nothing heard about calculated von? 👎👎🇩🇪🤨🤨

builders ,carpenters ,enggniers ,architechs..............they all keep on talking about runs,rise ,calculations,expensive equipments,tTrignometry and all load of things Joe you are a superstar ,you just takes all those things out of equation man ,hats off ,what a video and every one should learn how to cut the rafter No complicated maths or anything well done Joe

[@practice965]

This is by far the best video Ive seen on building a lean to coop.

[@CherrieMcKenzie]

I know this video has been up awhile, but I just wanted to say "Thank you!!" for an explanation that was straightforward and easy to understand. I'm building an outdoor kitchen lean to roof and was ready to put in the rafters which required birds mouth cuts. I now feel ready!!!

[@jamesbass4000]

Of all the vids on KZbin about rafter builds, this one makes the most sense to a complete novice. Great work.

Thank you for your video!!!, EXACTLY what I was looking for and keeping it simple without all the terminology I probably will never need!!!

[@ArcID1973]

I love the way you have your carpenters helper in the out takes. Teaching kids how to work is one of a father’s most fundamental responsibilities. God job man

[@ferdinandtuyishimire7com]

Very, very clear, I was able to follow every step with my speed square and a demo piece of wood. I am not building a coop or chicken mansion, but a free-standing awning at my front and back door. this has been the most simple version of a single angle roof I have been able to find. Thanks so much

[@VG-yh3ci]

Omg Thank your every detailed explanation and step by step instructions and on why. I’m a newbie at building and know nothing. You really are an excellent teacher! Thank you again kindly, V

[@johnmunoz8845]

Out of all the videos Ive listen to this one makes the most sense and you do so well at explaining everything for someone like me that isn't that great with math. Really appreciate your teaching it will go a long way in helping me get though my project.

[@JoeSimple]

Glad it was helpful!

[@keithdawe4866]

That was the best video I have seen when it comes to making the birds mouth.. I truly appreciate you taking a time to make this video

[@dch.projects]

Best tutorial I've seen. You know it when you've watched it all the way through, then realized you've watched it before because there's already a thumbs up. Nice pacing, clear, easy to follow. Thank you!!

[@robertcarullo4926]

simple, direct, no over the top tools that were given to him that most would not buy. This is the way to teach everyday people.

[@jeffreyklink3279]

Excellent - clear and no waste and adaptable for numerous other applications.

[@Retired-z2q]

Great instructor! Best Bird's Mouth instruction I've seen so far! Thanks

[@josephrhoades8113]

Excellent video, thank you. I had 4 books telling me to "do a birdsmouth" for the shed rafters without explaining how to do one. This video was exactly what I needed.

[@docboricua]

The best and clearest explanation of how to do a slope roof.

[@orangetractorguy8201]

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.

[@JoeSimple]

I am honored to be on your sub list! don't beat your self up I defiantly went over board on this build (always do). Plus I knew I was going to move it around with the tractor so it needed to be strong. for a wood shed straps will work just fine.

[@chriscraft4236]

Joe Simple awesome vid!!! Same here wish I saw this video before my build I too used hurricane straps on my slanted roof. I think the hurricane straps will hold just fine however next time bird’s mouth cuts for sure!

[@deladally1286]

oh my gosh! how well you taught me how to do this thing! Such a good teacher you are! thank you sir

Hi an excellent demonstration will help me immensely. I'm using this video to help me when I build a skillion porch including the purlins for the eaves, directly off my skillion conservatory. You are an excellent tutorial tutor. Thank you so much for helping me today I really appreciate it.

Best instructional video of How to cut a birds mouth for shed rafters! The lightbulb clicked on in my head for the speed square tips too!

[@deedeelowe9231]

Thank you so much for your video! You are a great teacher... you get to the point and make it easy to understand without going into a long, drawn out explanation. I've watched several other videos on how to install lean to rafters and the instructions were too drawn out, yours made is so easy to comprehend.

[@kessiejoel153]

Was planning to build one as that but hated to calculate where to fix the birds mouth. You made it so simple without math. Thanks. Top teacher.

[@hkass9261]

great job explaining the birds mouth and how to cut it. Thank you.

[@JimWyatt-m7i]

Very good video. I’m an interior guy with little to no roof framing experience. This helped me out so much. Very easy to fallow along. Thank you.

[@leighagillam]

thank you for your video, it helped us do the bird's mouths on the rafters for our first new small house! very much appreciated.

[@Ag8te11]

Thank you for posting this!! I am building a similar style run to the end of our coop and using this lean to style rafter. Your demo was better than the dozen odd prior ones I watched to get the moxie up to do this project. Like you, my daughters were "helping" oversee quality control. Going to cut these tomorrow and will definitely do a practice piece before cutting into my 2x6s.

[@JoeSimple]

Best of luck, Thank you

[@columbuspalmer846]

Great job! Your make good teacher in this field. Each one teach one.

[@Jestunes]

What a great explanation. Especially the explanation of the speed square and the pitch. Use the speed square a lot and never knew that. First shed roof for me and the especially the rafters. Just made a lot of walls. Big thumbs up...

Thank you Mr Simple. Your video helped me a lot with the building of my roof on my lean-to shed. Much appreciated.

[@Leo-fk9ch]

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.

[@meuchtie7662]

"oh jeez, I know what it's called..." Birdsmouth. BIRDSMOUTH! Really liked the video - this version of how to measure & cut a birdsmouth actually made sense.

Thank you thank you thank you! I needed this simplicity.

[@littledirtpatch...2668]

I am converting a shed to a hen house & adding an outside run. I loved the way you measured out a template, that's kinda how I do things too Making these cuts were so intimidating; so I was looking into pitch connectors (easy way out), but you just saved me a good bit of money. You were so detailed in how to do this, I think I can handle it now. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

[@RichardJohnson-eu4sm]

I was building a coop also and you helped me a lot to put the roof on. Thanks!

[@quantumstone992]

God bless your job, and your family. I did learn lots from your video. I plan to one day be able to build by own shed, and chicken coop as well. Take care friend.

[@BillLowenburg]

This is great, I’m building a wood shed with a lean-to roof like yours. I’ve never built one before and now I’m sure I’ll be able to make the cuts properly. Keep up the fine work and thanks for sharing your experience!

[@stephenwgreen78]

I'm planning a "kiddo garage" for all their outside stuff and this is the type of roof I would like. Glad there are skilled people out there willing to share their experience with us all.

[@troyna77]

me too!!! Ive been trying to find a solid easy to follow roof tutorial for my "lean-to". Ans this guy nailed it. I think explaining the common 10 degree measurement is what made this "click" in my head.

[@rtw67]

@@troyna77 lol nailed it

[@toddconrad1426]

Crown your boards the same direction and that direction should be upward so it doesn’t look like it’s going up and down going across the top from side to side.

[@toddconrad1426]

@@troyna77 the ten degrees is for the 2/12 pitch and it is also for a metal roof so don’t use it for a shingled roof. Buy a speed square and use the common section and the pitch you use just look at the degrees below it and it’ll tell you the matching degrees when you’re lined up on your common pitch at same time so you’ll know how to set up skill or table or chop saws pitch.

I believe using the diamond hole on your Swanson speed square could facilitate drawing the seat cut line on your birds mouth cutout. The Swanson handbook says it's a patented feature. Just learning and studying rafters and not experienced, just what I read. Haven't tried it myself. Could save a lot of time and seems easy to do.
