As a licensed contractor of 20 years, I like to thank this man for explaining it in plain freakin English like how most need to explain and I feel that is the way it should be explained in a standard. Totally needed him back in the 90's. No squeaky mouse sounding music, yapping for 3 minutes to show a 5 second actual, not advertising products other than the square hahaha no seriously everybody needs one. Fantastic job man
-
As a licensed engineer, and someone investing more time into developing my carpentry skills, I can tell you that finding your right triangles, parallel lines, and circles is essential for nearly every engineering problem. Great video, and straightforward without all the fluff. Thank you!
-
A man that knows what he’s talking about and gets straight to the point without all the unnecessary babbling. 😊👍🏽
-
Letting people know that mistakes are made, not just while learning and leaving the board long to cut again, because there is no board stretcher, is a great way to encourage true learning. Thanks and keep up the good work.
-
Excellent YouTubing. No music, no bullshit, just straight into what it says on the tin. Cheers.
-
As a journeyman carpenter this is probaly the simplest and best explanation of this process that I've seen on here. Very good job.
-
Having the knowledge and being able to explain it accurately in laymen terms is a rarity, this man nailed it.Thank you sir.
-
I don't know how you could explain a rafter layout any better than this man explained it as simple as it gets
-
Great video brother. It helped me get a refresher. Don’t cut rafters all that often and it’s good to have a informative video like this
-
Quality carpentry instruction with some energy, watched all 6:14 and feel smarter for it. New shed here I come!
-
This might be the most useful video I have ever watched on Youtube in my life
-
TY should have a policy of "No thumbs down without comment". Nothing at all wrong here.
-
Finally someone to talk DIY language. Much appreciated. Great video
-
Absolutely amazing video! I am self-building my extension and this information will help me a long way. There are others trying to explain how to cut rafters out there, but your explanations are so clear and straight to the point. I really appreciate it.
-
I've been sitting in my union carpentry class on wood framing wondering how to do rafters and all that and couldn't for the life of me figure it out even with their explanations. Decided to look up a video on my break, clicked on this one and figured it out almost instantly. Very well explained and didn't make it seem all that complicated. Thank you so much for this 👏
-
How refreshing to watch. Someone finely explaining a difficult subject thanks for your time
-
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed the math part. I remember squaring up my concrete footings to my existing house. My reference point was on the house not the foundation. Fieldstone foundation. I had to do pathagerom's theorem in 3 dimensions. It was really cool. The calculated measurements lined up actual measurements. I'm building a portico as a Christmas present for my wife.
-
Finally, a use for the Pythagorean Theorem!!!
-
Thank YOU a Million TIMES for making it plain to MEEEEE!!! I really appreciate your content Sir! I was feeling so defeated and almost gave up my hopes on things I desire to build. I just could not understand roofing at ALLLLL!! Praise God he had this search run across your page.
