10 x12 Modern Work Shed - Part 6 - Framing The Roof

Now that the walls are rigid from the structural sheathing we're going to tackle the framing the roof. We're going to use 2x8 lumber to make the roof frame. You'll see how a speed square and hand saw is your best friend when it comes to cutting the birds-mouths for the rafters. Those 14 foot sub fascia boards are heavy. I'll share with you how I got those suckers up there.

Sorry...I realize that being on the top of the ladder is not recommended. Please be careful when you work on ladders.

This really helped me I wish I would have watched it before I built my shed but my second one will be amazing thanks to you

[harrypehkonen]

*Exactly* what I was looking for -- how to put a roof onto a shed that you designed yourself. Love that you used a hand saw, a hatchet, and a plane.


Nice hat :D

Perfect timing!...just framed up a shed the EXACT same 12' x 10' dimensions and roof design in mind and needed a visual to confirm my thoughts on how to do it was indeed a good plan.
Great job on the video and thanx for the time & effort it took to share your project with us. 👍

BIG like from me you helped me overcome a problem I've been troubled with for a while in my new construction. Thank you 👍👍👍

Outstanding job man I got at least three tricks from watching this video thanks man I applied them to my own shop build keep up the videos ...

[triadtech]

Building my shed now and have found your videos fun to watch! I found several good pointers helpful so far. You did a great job- super strong building!

Ever think of buying a spokeshaven? Hand plane, chisel and hatchet all rolled in to a two hand tool! I know it's an old world tool, most people may not know what I'm talking about, not often used, but in situations like this, when you need to rough plane or de-bark and true, felled trees!

Also nice work, I couldn't tell if it was California, Hawaii or Florida, with the palm trees, over engineered for sure. More expensive, especially if building now (6-2021), but will be sturdy for the long haul and for the expected cliche... Get what you pay for and or in this case, also what you put into it!
I never thought of using a Japanese saw for the birds mouth! I own a couple, use them often, but never clicked in my head! Perhaps a door jamb saw. Better yet finally a use and excuse for me to use and own an oscillating saw, never have taken to mine, I know they are useful, guess just stuck in in my ways!

I like Japanese or fan saw, as I've heard them be called in the West. I lived in Japan for nearly a decade, I have used them for years. Always razor sharp and easier on the hand if you are making smaller cuts, thin pieces especially with furniture making! take care of them or new.

Great job! Those fascia boards are a booger to put in!

Love the build. I just finished my 12 x 16 shed / workshop. It's awesome but now I am working with the electrician and he noted I don't have ceiling joists going from wall to wall (I have a lean-to like yours), do I need ceiling joists?

[mitchellphillips]

You just put me to work my wife loves it so you know what I've got to do

[MRrwmac]

Looks real good. Nice job! I’m guessing it’s already done and you’re catching us up. Looks like the hard part is done (as long as you don’t fall off putting the sheathing on).

[angelfoxer]

Thank you for sharing. Hope to begin my own roof one day soon!

[Ataraxia]

thanks for the vid, very useful! Jungle is MASSIVE!!!

[kenflo]

This video is awesome, thanks for the tool links. BUT WHERE IS THE LINK TO BUY THAT HAT!?

[firstofficerspock]

Thank you! will a trim board be nailed into the 2 x 8 lumber that you put at the end of the rafters? Or is that the final facia board?

[ckeilah]

Why do you put blocking for the side overhang, and cripple studs between the top plate and that outside rafter? This seems superfluous.

[mrmosty]

What’s the best way to seal off the angled gap where the cripple studs go?

[TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Looking good my brother awesome job :)

[jasrobsny]

How did you determine the overhang lengths?
