BIRDS MOUTH & PURLINS Cutting The Roof | Chicken coop build PART- 4

This is by far the best video Ive seen on building a lean to coop.

Many have already said it, but I'm here to say it again - what an outstanding presentation. The camera work, editing and sound, along with clear, concise explanations for each step make yours among the BEST construction videos out there. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing, and for being the kind of teacher that makes learning FUN -

simple, direct, no over the top tools that were given to him that most would not buy. This is the way to teach everyday people.

I love the way you have your carpenters helper in the out takes. Teaching kids how to work is one of a father’s most fundamental responsibilities. God job man

Very, very clear, I was able to follow every step with my speed square and a demo piece of wood. I am not building a coop or chicken mansion, but a free-standing awning at my front and back door. this has been the most simple version of a single angle roof I have been able to find. Thanks so much.

Thank you for posting this!! I am building a similar style run to the end of our coop and using this lean to style rafter. Your demo was better than the dozen odd prior ones I watched to get the moxie up to do this project. Like you, my daughters were "helping" oversee quality control. Going to cut these tomorrow and will definitely do a practice piece before cutting into my 2x6s.

Best tutorial I've seen. You know it when you've watched it all the way through, then realized you've watched it before because there's already a thumbs up. Nice pacing, clear, easy to follow. Thank you!!

This is the clearest, best communicated training on birdsmouth i have seen (out of seven). Thank you.

Out of all the videos Ive listen to this one makes the most sense and you do so well at explaining everything for someone like me that isn't that great with math. Really appreciate your teaching it will go a long way in helping me get though my project.

builders ,carpenters ,enggniers ,architechs..............they all keep on talking about runs,rise ,calculations,expensive equipments,tTrignometry and all load of things Joe you are a superstar ,you just takes all those things out of equation man ,hats off ,what a video and every one should learn how to cut the rafter No complicated maths or anything well done Joe

Excellent video, thank you. I had 4 books telling me to "do a birdsmouth" for the shed rafters without explaining how to do one. This video was exactly what I needed.

Of all the vids on YouTube about rafter builds, this one makes the most sense to a complete novice. Great work.

Thanks for the tips. I'm a complete novice when it comes to wood working and we are building an 10x8 coop, and I was stuck with the roof. This reference is going to be great.

I just stumbled upon your video, and glad I did. The way you explain each step in simple terms is outstanding, especially for those like myself with limited building experience. This video would have been a game changer for me when building my 10 x 24 firewood lean-to shed last summer. The idea of doing birds mouth cuts intimidated me, so I used hurricane ties instead. The way you explained it and the detailed use of the speed square (never knew how to use one) was excellent and I would have given it a go. I just kept shaking my head while watching this and kept thinking, I would have done a few things differently with my shed (like adding the purlins to accommodate a longer eave) cause you explained its so well. I have only found a few channel to subscribe to, and you have now been added to that list! Thanks, and looking forward to checking out your other videos.

Well explained. I’m not a tradesman, just a pen pusher and but this guy made it so simple that I think I can finally build my outdoor storage

OMG, Joe thanks for all your help. ""I'm learning how to do it"" at age 69 . Thanks again from the "The Great White North" Canada.

I’m building a woodshed, but have a couple of challenges on the roof pitch. Found your video, and it cleared it up on how to do right and easy. Thanks!

I am converting a shed to a hen house & adding an outside run. I loved the way you measured out a template, that's kinda how I do things too Making these cuts were so intimidating; so I was looking into pitch connectors (easy way out), but you just saved me a good bit of money. You were so detailed in how to do this, I think I can handle it now. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

Best instructional video of How to cut a birds mouth for shed rafters! The lightbulb clicked on in my head for the speed square tips too!
