This video demonstrates two methods for laying out bird's mouth cuts on rafters, using a speed square and a framing square. The presenter explains how to use each tool to create the necessary lines for the cut, and then shows how to cut the bird's mouth using a circular saw and a handsaw.
333446 1 год назад 4:29This video teaches viewers how to lay out and cut common rafters for a gabled roof using a speed square and basic math. The instructor explains the concepts of span, run, unit rise, and unit length, and demonstrates two methods for calculating unit length. They then show how to use a speed square to mark and cut the rafters, including the seat cut, heel cut, and soffit cut.

The technique involves using a pre-cut rafter and a plumb cut to mark the desired position and angle, ensuring the rafter sits correctly on the ridge and plate.
141994 3 года назад 4:41This video teaches a simple method for determining the pitch of a rafter using only a speed square and a chalk line. The technique involves aligning the speed square with the rafter and using the chalk line to mark the pivot point. The resulting measurement on the speed square reveals the rafter's pitch, allowing for accurate replication or extension of existing rafters.
