This was a great video, thankyou mate. I'm an apprentice carpenter in Sydney, 2 years in, and am finding roofing to be very interesting, challenging and rewarding. Videos like this are really helping me learn by seeing different ideas and approaches to roofing.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment.

[@vegansynths7757]

I don’t know how you came into my feed but you are a magnificent teacher and speaker. Keep up the good work.

Sometimes the algorithms work as they should. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I was able to put a hip roof over a small room with the help of your video.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Wow, nice work! Thank you very much!!

[@AB-nb2ic]

THANK YOU! By 3:30 I got all the info I needed. I'm a union carpenter with 30 yrs experience but I rarely frame roofs. Just needed a quick layout review. You nailed it. Best roof framing video I've seen. Nice and concise

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the build!

[@KatAdair]

What a PHENOMENAL video...you are a gifted teacher, and this was the best explanation I've seen on framing a hip roof. I'm a framing junkie, but have never known how to frame this type of roof. I downloaded the Construction Master™ Pro app for my iPhone, and was able to follow along easily. Thank you!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

WOW! Thank you for the encouraging words and gift!

[@jenniferhermanson8969]

OMG I have watched countless videos about roof framing and this is the best one I have ever seen. Maybe it all just finally sank in, I don't know...but I understand finally how to do this. THANK YOU!

I'm glad it sank in!! :)

I’m impressed with the quality of this class. This guy is no doubt one of the bests carpenters of US.

[@ToddThompson-du9mx]

this is informational knowledge gold. I appreciate you so much man, It is so obvious those people that truly know the material vs people who watched a couple youtube videos and decided they were now expert enough to teach other people but the ease and way you put together a demo of a skill is very apparent when its just something you deeply know. It is hard to find quality people like you who will take the time to teach numbers and number skills as it is difficult (again, unless you really know the material) so anyways, long story long, just want to offer a truly genuine appreciation of your efforts it came up at just the right time when I had this task at hand and man, there is a lot of people on youtube over complicating things, giving weird unrealistic info that no one would actually do in real life if they had any idea why they were doing what they were doing. Posted this two years ago but its still very valuable thank you a million.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you for the comment my friend. :)

[@thetallcarpenter]

Although I/we here in the UK set out and mark our hip and jack rafters differently, I still think you do a really great job of clearly explaining how you guys do it in the US 🇺🇸. I also think the way you describe and demonstrate how the different angles apply to the different parts of the roof are very clear and apply to roof construction however you do it. 👍 Great work.

[@toeknee276]

I’ve seen a few of these videos and enjoy watching them. I dream of the day I can pitch a roof this accurately, but onsite, there are so many other variables to consider. However, you clearly know your stuff! Please make a video onsite showing how to pitch a hipped roof, with unequal pitches, unequal hip angles and pitched over wall plates that the bricklayers laid 🤦‍♂️

Would love to do that at some point.

[@robertmccully2792]

You explained it correctly good job. Not sure why nobody backs there hips anymore, especial on 4 x hips, instead of dropping the hip. Only takes another 15 minutes or so. I have not watched any other videos, another trick, if you don't know this ,, for a cut that is over 45 degrees on the saw, lets say 60 degrees.. you can first cut a 45 and than a 15 to get 60.

[@paulmiller8226]

Love your videos. Clear, concise and to the point. I have one question. When cutting the hip rafters you change the pitch from 6 - 12 to 6 -17. Does that apply to any pitch? For example would I use the same run (17) for a 5 -12 or a 4 -12? So 5 -17 or 4 -17 in this example.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thanks Paul! Yes, any pitch. A valley or hip rafter always has a unit run of 17". Did you see part 2 of this video yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWOuo4hol5Z4gKs

[@matthewmartone7436]

@8:20 Can you use Pythagorean theorem to determine the overhang? I’m getting 7.8 and the calculator you are using is saying 7.5.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Great question. No, you can not use Pythagorean theorem because this is a valley rafter which has a unit run of 17" and not 12". Honestly, the best way to do valleys is let them run long and cut them after the fact. :)

[@kkdesignservices183]

Any advice for a hip rafter for quite different roof pitches? I'm working on a roof design problem where hip rafters are needed to join an 8:12 with a 24:12. I'm thinking this might require a 4x6 and a CNC to get all of the angles and backs correct

Thanks for video, I learned without this special calculator, basically the Pythagorean theorem - a common rafter run is 12”, a hip is 17” run -this concept is understandable-learn the method or learn the calculator.

Hi, do you always need to drop the hip in this way? And if so is it just for standard hip roofs (pitch the same on all sides) or does it also apply to irregular hip roofs with say two different pitches? Thank you

[@frankcse]

Thanks for the video, what would be the pitch of hip if I have to use 12x4 pitch, in your video I seen 17x6 for the hip, how do I figure this out for my hip for the roof pitch of 12x4, thanks for your advice.

It would be 17x4

Great video easy to understand. The only part I need a little more explaining for is for the jack rafters you said the calculator does not take into consideration for the thickness of the hip.

Great video. Framing a hip roof for a gazebo I'm building and this has helped a lot (only had to watch it about 10 times before having all of it really sink in, LOL). Question: I am tackling my tiki bar hip roof next. Want to do a 12" overhang on the back and right side and a 24" overhang on the front and left side. How should I tackle where the 12" and 24" overhangs come together? I was thinking of having the hip rafter stop short where a fascia board would line up (in the horizontal) with the closest jack rafters on each side of the hip. Your thoughts?
