Grand Master Dan, so humble, proper gentleman, letting Roger do all the talking and yet never raises an eyebrow. If anything, gently corrects Roger once he has done talking. You two should do a lot more videos together 👍

Great video lads. Dan is another real asset to the channel. Great communicator and shows humility and knowledge in one.

[atgaming]

Honestly one of the best videos explaining the process of pitching a roof, so simple so straight forward

[pops]

A great informative video.
Dan never fails to amaze me, with his carpentry skills, and good explanations.
He’s a magician with the timber!

The one thing I took more notice than that beautifully machined pitch square. Was the little off cut of osb on top of the ridge keeping the rafters spot on 😁 learn something new everyday. 👍🏻

From someone who has been cutting roofs for 30 years the Essential Roofing Square and Dans Roofing app is a game changer.
Great tutorial Roger and Dan 👏👏👏

I appreciate Roger following up Dan with some of the questions for us noobies watching, really helped understand some principals

[stevenwaibel]

This answered so many questions I've had! Not all but a good amount! I love how everything was down scaled and easy to understand! Thank you very much my friend!👍

[matthewhook]

Great to see Dan on the channel again and love this scale model roofing explanation. Would love to see the rest of the roofing process explained in this accessible way - e.g. soffits, fascias, felt & battening, tiling, insulating etc. Top work as always chaps!

This video made my work so much easier than what I have been doing. I have worked with a carpenter in the distant past and know a little but never even helped putting on a roof. I just do what I can build in my head. If I can successfully build in my brain I can transfer it to the actual construction. I'm fortunate in that regard, but I'm definitely lacking knowledge in some areas. This video lesson covered everything I needed. I'm still a little confused on the "bird mouth" but I think I can work around it. I'll find out tomorrow! Thank you so much for this video! ❤

I've got Dan's square and it's invaluable. I will not do a roof without it 👌👍

[dougieranger]

Brilliant, innovative solution. Best of luck with your roofing square Dan. 🇬🇧

Excellent!

Love the proper English accents, great coverage very instructional, thank you for teaching everyone! ... the cm comparisons will come in handy while I'm living and building in Hungary after living 40y in California (Oregon) ... and then was merely a little interested in building NOW im very interested in creating a few geodesic dome and octagon small buildings starting out and practicing on small and later using what I learned to build large house sizes. of the same.. all these tips are excellent and very helpful, along with 2 years of wood shop in Paradise Ca high school... 1987...

Another carpenter masterclass with Roger and Dan the man 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽

[thetallcarpenter]

You can't explain it much simpler than that guys👌illustrating the the pitch with a string from flat to upright helps make it easier to understand as well👍

[paulfinnonjoinery]

class vid as always lads. love a roofing job now. used to really struggle with them and basically guess before watching youtube videos. night and day difference now.

[boabmarlee]

I only work on a roof every couple of years as most of my carpentry is finishing joinery and shopfitting but Dan's roofing Square looks like some bit of kit and worth buying to sit in my cupboard for when the time comes

[AmirAlwan]

Another great contribution to the community. It’s worth mentioning that this type of roof construction with a ridge board will require collar ties or bolting the ceiling joists into the rafters for preventing spreading of the rafters. Otherwise the top ridge will have to be designed as a beam supporting the weight of the rafters.
