Why can’t everybody teach like this. Best example I’ve seen

[@bizebeemommy]

After watching so many videos and still being so confused, I am so grateful for coming across yours! You simplified the process so well! Thank you!

[@SawdustandWood]

You're welcome!

[@buddahkz9980]

Best video for gable roofs I’ve ever seen . Climbing on it at the end was unbelievable great work

[@zechariahjam3824]

So simple so sweet I'v been in carpentry school for 5 level, they didn't teach me like you did with this video... Keep it up brother❤️

[@Mario-g9f]

Good job I got more clear on how to approach my project

[@jeronlangley542]

Clear, understandable and precise. This was awesome!🙌🏾💪🏾

[@octaviogamez6464]

I have few vids about rafters and so far this is the one that made most sense to me so THANK YOU 🙏🏽 great video

[@thomasschafer7268]

Sorry. Das ist ein sparrendach. Die Last vom Dach drückt die Wände nach außen. Wäre das ein richtige First unter den Sparren und stärker wäre es ein pfettendach . Die Last ist dann bei den Pfosten unter der first und nur noch die Hälfte am sparrenfußpunkt!!!👍👍🇩🇪

[@tonygriffin2049]

Great instruction for amateur’s like me Simple’s to understand.

[@popwall4297]

I've watched several of these videos and didn't really understand any of them this has been the easiest to understand so far I think I can do it now thank you very much

[@perseverance_pastures]

This video is exactly what I needed!!!!!! We are building a goose cottage and this is the perfect tutorial on how I need to do my roof!!!!! Thank you!!!

Dude! By far the best tutorial I have seen on KZbin. Clear camera shots and concise instructions. Thanks for taking your time. I truly appreciate it. Please keep sharing your skill and talents.

[@johnbewley9239]

Excellent teacher , easy and understandable, no-nonsense/ I used your video as a guide and cut my rafter 4x6 beams, looks great. Thank You.

[@jerryorta4085]

Great video! PLEASE show how you would extend approximately an 8" overhang on each end of the roof.

Great content as always, Chris. You gave me the confidence to put a gable roof on my wood rack. Could not have done it without you!

[@SawdustandWood]

You can do it!

Excellent video. Cannot thank you enough.

[@manuelbetancourt8610]

Great video thank you so much

[@themeat5053]

Second time I'm watching you gable a roof. The first time I didn't hear all the huffing and puffing...have you stopped jogging? C''mon, man. Love you and your channel. Best of everything, Chris.

[@longboyize]

Just what I needed to see!!!

[@ab_ab_c]

Well done & taught! A nice addition would be a list of all of the tools & fasteners that you used. Thanks for sharing!

[@nore8141]

Just to let you know that when I make my workshop shed in a few months we’ll be doing this together. Thank you 🙏 and much appreciated ❤❤

[@esotomeza2121]

You the best 👍

[@JT_70]

Very good. I’ll have to watch it again to grasp how you determined the length of each rafter. I realize this is the quicker approach, but I don’t like overcuts, even more so when on stair stringers.

[@EricJohnson-dr5wb]

You are a great teacher. Thank you.

[@DASAV_pe]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is far the best video greetings from Perú

[@julianmcdonald3679]

You made it very simple to understand good job

[@SawdustandWood]

Thanks

[@TheIceman101]

Thanks

[@jamesburgess3628]

I have watched so many videos on cable roofs. This is one of the best. At least one of the simplest examples. But I have yet to find a video that explains how to determine how you decide what pitch your roof should be for my situation. This is a 12 pitch. I have seen 6 pitch videos. I seen as low as 4 pitch videos. I have seen a video that said that 4 pitch is the standard minimum. 12 pitch is the standard maximum. But you can have a pitch anywhere between 4 pitch and 12 pitch. And it will displace the rain water. But how do you determine what pitch is best for your situation?

[@abacuordonez3097]

Good job

[@gositdown.3800]

right on, bud

[@CayoBuay]

Great video. Can you explain the three step part a bit more? Like would it always be a 3 step regardless of span or is that based on what the half mark is? So 6ft span / 2 is 3ft so three steps or 16ft span / 2 is 8ft so 8 steps. Thanks for going into all the details.

[@maxsadr990]

Excellent presentation, 🤨

[@tonycovello7658]

Thank you I learned a lot! Happy New Year!

[@singh0833]

Great video man!

[@deadsmooth419]

Brilliant

[@SawdustandWood]

Thanks

[@WayneDavis-rf4ps]

Great video.I have one question,how did you get the3.5” for the birds mouth figure?

[@cainrscjohnson1218]

Bro I don’t know why for tha life of me your channel don’t have a million subs , when I can’t figure something out I need to do I come to this channel 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@SawdustandWood]

That means a lot. Thanks

[@antoniopop7572]

Its so easy with this metod. Beeing from europe it's not a help to understamd all the imperial calculation. Thanks for the video.

[@aquinojose94]

Really good video

[@SawdustandWood]

Thanks

[@easypainterslondon]

Real class job great video

[@SawdustandWood]

Much appreciated

[@columbuspalmer846]

Good work bro love it

[@shanewaldrop1625]

Thank you! Question, how did you come up with the birds mouth at 3.5 inches. Watched a couple of times I missed something. You’re an awesome teacher. Just sub’ed.

[@brianmatthews4323]

I can answer that for you in case he missed your question. 3.5 inches is the actual width of a "2x 4". IOWs a "2x4" is actually 1.5x3.5 The birds mouth at 3.5 sits nicely on a 3.5 wide top plate. Hope that helps.

[@benallen1167]

I'm thinking of making a chicken coop 6 by 8 foot. This was very helpful I didn't know how to use My framing square to setup the angles

[@SawdustandWood]

I’m glad it helped, thanks for watching

[@jimbocrac1]

Great video! When you did the birds mouth you mentioned the measurement 3 1/2. Is that what it is every time or how did you get that number based on your circumstances. Thanks so much for explaining. Made it really easy to understand!

[@bryanclark8920]

3 1/2 is the width of a 2x4 which is what he is using for the top plate of the wall.

[@roydodd4694]

❤❤it😊😊

[@BoxTruckVagabond]

Great video, I learned a lot. Where did you get that framing square? I'd like to get one like that.

[@billr6344]

what if your wall was say 10' 3 1/2 " and so half would be 5' 1 3/4". How do you figure the 1 3/4 "?

[@Mr123johnnybe]

Great Video I like the way you explain things-I Like your helpful tricks of the trade. Can you Please tell me what is a good plywood 4'x8 sheets ' and thickness for 24'' OC roof rafters I need to Sheet my roof on my 16' x 16' shed what is recommended by you OSB or CDX, thank you.

[@deramimi9983]

Your fan from TikTok Chris 🙌

[@jeff1806]

Do you have a video showing how to splice a ridge board. Does it have to be a scarf joint or can you use a piece of 1/2" plywood board on each side between rafters that are 16 inches on center?

[@billr6344]

Could I use 2x4 for the rafters if i placed them 16" on center and my shed was 10x12 and a 4-12 pitch?

[@canadianchordsmen]

Has anyone heard of 3-gable 5-sided roof? I was a 5-sided corner shed, 12x12, with the side walls each 6', so the 5th center wall is 8'6"; but I don't like the common hip roof. I would like to gable both slopes to the 12' sides; and the slope to the center 8'6" sides. I don't know if it is possible, or what it would look like.

[@rhuddle2000]

just wondering where to buy that particular framing square. Amazon was not helpful.

[@rtbkennel721]

I like the way you did it but i think the 12 is too high. I would do a 12 6 😅 but i can't seem to place it in my mind how to measure that 12 6 even though u said it would be the same.

[@SawdustandWood]

Thanks for watching!!

[@jeff1806]

I just stumbled onto this video today. Your step off method, will it work for any pitch roof (3 on 12 pitch) or will it only for this particular 12 on 12 pitch?

[@SawdustandWood]

Yes it will work for any pitch

[@tinoslaponi8514]

I recognize an Acadiana accent a mile away.

[@daviddante8168]

Same way for a 4/12 roof?

[@livinglifemyway7349]

1 Question, I dont know if I over looked it but How did you get the rise or how high to put the ridge board? thanks

[@antoniopop7572]

Its fixed by de 12 inch triangle. You have 12 inch run x 12 inch rise. Its fixed geometry.

[@HazelAndrewsAcupuncture]

Id love to watch this, but we stopped using imperial measurements in 1971 in the Uk. :( I have to find a vid using metric measurements.

[@antoniopop7572]

There is a Spanish channel who uses a calculator to do the mats and stuff. I think with this metod it's easy to do a simple roof. You only have to convert de length to imperial and know what inclination angle do you need. This one is 12inches run by 12 inches rise so it's have 45° degrees of inclination. In a rapid square you have the conversion. Download a photo and there you have it.

[@Icutmetal]

You watched it long enough to make that comment…why not convert to metric? It’s not rocket surgery.

[@Straight-Outta-Roanoke-AL]

12 on 12 is 45 degrees right? That's steep 😄

[@firefire1970]

Good video but I wish you would not have cut the bird’s mouth with the circular saw blade went to deep and wish the 1/3 rule would have been demonstrated.

[@manuelbetancourt8610]

Is that a dog's house

[@Icutmetal]

What do you think?
