How to mark and cut hip rafters on a trussed roof. ***(with splayed birdsmouth cut)***

In this video I show how I mark out and cut a hip rafter on a small trussed roof. I also show how I set out, mark and cut the rafter chord of a the supporting girder truss.

This is one of the best, most detailed versions of laying out and cutting a hip rafter I've seen! I'm from the US, NOT a pro, and enjoy seeing the UK version of roof framing because it tends to be more quality conscious and not just an exercise in production and use of a construction calculator. I salute you for this video and intend to keep watching. You do beautiful work! It's inspiring!

Nice one Del. Will never construct a roof, but anybody who does will find this very helpful.

This is the most detailed video on hip measuring I’ve found. You really take the time to explain the things that others assume as given. Thank you very much indeed!

Amongst all the YouTube star DIYers raving about their latest tools and spotless workshops and showing their carefully edited projects the few proper quality tradesmen stand out from the crowd like diamonds twinkling in a pile of poo and Del is one of those diamonds. Bloody excellent as ever 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

As a carpenter, that is textbook work, and very tidy for roofing, ive attempted that before and messed it up, fair play for your patience and skills, like some of the other guys on you tube , they are on a different level

[garyhill]

Nice to see another chippy doing things in the same manor I do, you may well get the guys that do it all mathematically etc but, if the result is the same so what, as long as the finished article is exact and neat and keeps the tilers happy, looks like yours is a great end result, good work fella 👏🏻

Ive been doing truss roofs for years rarely any hipped was a long time ago I’ve got one coming up in the next couple of weeks and this video just jogged my memory and made me feel more comfortable about doing it, thanks for taking the time to share

You are not a carpenter you are a cabinet maker of houses, the precision of work is only surpassed by you precision of teaching. You are welcome to build my house here in the states. Wonderful work or as you would say "proper job" Thank you.

Absolutely love watching roofing work, I'm only 37 but love the traditional methods of hand cutting roofs, can't beat some string line and bevels, really appreciate the time u put into explaining especially if u are on job price. Learnt alot from watching the few videos I lhave found u doing roofs, most videos are america or Canadian based happy to find someone in England showing in this much depth

[flyingrabbit]

I really love your passion and your sense of charing knowledge and explaining the nitty gritty of carpentry . I love you man

[johndulling]

As an old carpenter myself doing it all with hand tools back in the day you have explained that really well

[delboy]

Your channel is without a doubt the best chippie channel on the net great videos

[fussyfez]

As a multi trade fitter that gets involved with all sorts of UK domestic construction, I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

[johnwaby]

That's a work of art Del ...can't be doing roofs these old way .
And brilliantly explained 👍👍👍👍👍.

Hope you are keeping well 👍

[Tez]

You are brilliant to show everyone how that’s done that way . A lot of joiners wouldn’t show and explain it all that way . I take my cap off to you mate 👍

[stianrefsnes]

your videos are gold. im a carpenter apprentice from norway and even though i probably wont do this exact work anytime soon or anytime at all, i still find your videos so useful, and i find so many new tips and techniques that i can use in my own work. so i just want to say thank you for putting in time and effort in making these videos and explaining everything so well. cheers mate.

[bartbug]

Thanks Del, as always very imformative and easy to follow advice. Cheers from Australia

[anthonyperkins]

Excellent vidieo. Really well filmed and explained. Ive done plenty of roofs many years ago but been stuck on 1st & 2nd fix for the last few years. Now back into a bit of roofing and your videos are really helping me to refresh my memory. Thank you very much for taking the time to produce these exellent sources of information.

[BuildWithAE]
