Hip Rafter Ridge Cuts Layout

First of 3 videos on hip rafter layout. Layout of ridge plumb and cheek cuts.

The illustrative manner of using Sketchup to explain the complexity of these cuts to someone not familiar was very helpful. Thank you for the video.

I'm sad to see only three videos! You do a great job of explaining these building concepts.

Very good information and well explained! I'm still picking up other people's tips and tricks at 60. For some of the other viewers who are interested in roof construction in different countries or who may even travel to work in other places. On the point where the crown rafter meets the end pair of common rafters, in good practice, we would face this pair of rafters up with a triangular "saddle board" a type of gusset board for the hip rafters to rest firmly rest against to ensure that they obtain full bearing because the hips can sometimes have a plumb cut about 1/3 longer than the common rafter plumb cuts. The crown rafter in between is also built down with a triangular block of the same rafter thickness and this enables a longer plumb cut on the crown rafter similar in length to the plumb cut of the hips.
Therefore we adjust the position of this end pair of rafters to allow for the thickness of the saddle board and the hip rafter length calculations still meet at the center of the roof on the plan. Where the hip rafter meets the wallplate it is standard practice for us in Ireland and the UK to notch the hip rafter over a corner tie, or dragon tie, a very secure tried and tested method.

Finally! I found exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Thanks very, very, very much....

So, so, so clear!

If you get time to make more, I and I'm sure others would be hugely appreciative of.

Hey what happened to the videos man? There’s are very well made and informative. I’ve been looking all over for this to be explained.

Just measuring 3/4 line plus 3/4 line and cut

[chrisballas]

what is 17 inches based on? is it common to all hip roofs?

[ivanzucconi]

Never heard of 1.4142?? Too much time to waste in here.

This would be an awesome video if you can hear the f*** what he's saying

No discussion of the birds mouth cut? B.s.
