Rafter Cutting Made Easy With A Framing Square

This is a fun video showing how easy it really is to mark out a rafter with a framing square. I mark out the ridge (peak) cut, bird's mouth cut, and tail cut also showing how to measure the rafter for length using a framing square.

I hope you enjoyed the video and leave a comment.
The skunk at the end likes the attention.
Enjoy

Any time I can avoid math is okay with me! I've watched a BUNCH of videos on how to do this and all left me totally confused. After watching yours, I walked away shaking my head at how absolutely easy it is and how needlessly complex it was made in other videos. Thanks a TON!

I have watched many "how-to" vids regarding rafters and this one is the best. Thank you.

You have the most amazing guide. For us novices, we appreciate the repetitive examples. May seem simple to the pros but confusing for us. Thank you sir!!!

I’ve probably watched 7-8 different videos on this subject and this is buy far the easiest to understand. Only thing is I learned to hold the square with the tongue in the left hand and blade in right. Also move left to right. Either way great video, makes a lot more sense to me now.
