This is what people of the world need, schools should be teaching our youth the true fundamentals. (Personally believe a life style as seen in this video could bring a peaceful mind)

Wish these new trades people knew how to frame like this gentleman.

[DrumDon]

Nice work. I like the idea of pre-drilling a pilot hole for hand hammering.

They don’t make them like they used to, you sir are a craftsman with a capital C, it was a pleasure watching you build thank you for the education

Ive watched many videos explaining how to do rafters, but visually seeing the whole process gave me a better understanding. Thank you Sir for the excellent video demonstration!

Most impressive part for me is that this is being hand nailed ! Quite a workout. !

It’s wonderful to see that the skills needed to drive in a 4” nail ie pre-drilling! And using a REAL HAMMER no modern days hundreds of pounds nail-guns!
