Love it!!. Possibly the best part of hand cutting a roof is dropping in the hip and seeing how lovely it lines in with the rest of all the rafters.😍 Cheers for the video fellas.👍
Hi Del so true there is something very satisfying about dropping hips in hope you are well your RUclips channel is going great guns all the best Tony 👍
How many of you guys know that If you was going to do this back in the olden days,you would keep the point of the hip plumb cut right up to the ridge line and back the both edges of the hip rafter off,this is known as the dihedral angle so the middle of the hip rafter would plane through with the top edge of the commons and jack rafters,I wonder how many of us remember this from our college days,robin clevett would I’m sure. Great vids guys keep them coming
Hi coggsy3036 I remember the dihedral very well it’s something that will be shown in a big roof coming up later also 3” hips would always do dihedral angles, but most of the time 2” we don’t do the angle all the best Tony 👍
@@coggsy3036 hi, yes I’ve done a few dihedral angles on hips, even filmed one.. Got a well done from a NHBC inspector on one job for good practice, that’s a first.. thanks for watching.
Remember chaps you are not building a piano. But judging from finish you could be. Lovely job. Nice to see Dan on your channel having seen him on the ‘other side’
The A team you and Dan you done such a good job with them hips id let you fix my shoulder 🤣. No such a good job lads a great accuracy as usual brilliant. Justin brickright 👍🧱
Hi Justin, 😂 Hope you Guy’s are well, I know what you mean it’s my knees for me. I see the channel is coming on nicely, have an awesome week Bud all the best Tony 👍
Hi Chris, sorry just seen your message. You can get it from the website, download it. If not drop me a email via the website. essential Carpenter Tools. Thanks.
perfect timing as I am just cutting the roof of my self build having already purchased the ultimate roofing square. Commons, king commons and ridges in place and all fit perfectly after cutting using the square. This is a great tool and makes things very easy. Now for the hips, wish me luck 👍
The English crack me up ! As a pro carpenter I figured out in the 1 st day on the job I need a tool belt! A good tool belt and wear it correctly not all the weight on one side and thoughtfully put together! You guys do great work considering all the “ where’s my” , “hv you seen” , “ do you know where” and thousands of others! For a couple hondos your in a great belt? I do enjoy seeing all those tools hanging off your pants or digging stuff outta those tiny little cloth pockets !
Recently did my 1st hipped roof. I did it solo which was stupid. 3 hips and 3 valleys. Bit ambitious for my first time, especially as I was having to marry into the original with Rosemary's, valley tiles and hip bonnets. Not 1000% happy with it. The plates weren't super square. I knocked them about abit and 345ed the corners until I got it where I was reasonably happy but something was wrong. It was hard doing it alone. Couldn't measure from corner to corner properly. It was parallel but not square and I don't know how. I cut the Kings the same, a few commons and the hips the same. Everything seemed to be working perfectly. But cutting the hip Jack's in pairs made me realise something was off. But it was only a few mm so I carried on, coz I had to get it done. I struggled with the valleys. Especially the connecting valleys. The angle up the valley boards wasn't working. So I started to panic that I had gotten the pitch wrong. I climbed into the attic and checked about 10x rafters and they were all 41degrees there abouts. So I couldn't understand what wasn't working.
Hi Kallum I think we have all been there at different times of are life’s. Dan square is a cracking bit of kit but the building careers live on the 16 17 July u can talk to people and have a go with us so please come along all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE a big part of me is resisting buying Dan's square. Makes it seem too easy. I wanna know I understand it all 1st. I think I do, but doing this hipped roof has knocked me about abit. I kept the pitch then same, I kept the hips and valleys as 45 as possible. I cut the Jack's in pairs which I imagined would keep everything at least within 45. I even added a dragon brace detail using the offcuts from the hip birdsmouth. But something hasn't worked 100% and its driving me mad. Am I being too fussy? I reckon I might come to your thing
Master craftsmen on this channel, absolutely superb standards.

Thanks Del. It sure is satisfying dropping hips in and it all lines up just right. 👊🏻.
Have a good one! 🙏
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. The roof looks sweet so far mate.😎

@@BuildWithAE yes same here,I like to keep it old school as much as possible
Keep up the good work guys💪👍

Bevelling the tops of the hips gives one more meat to nail the battens into. The same applies if one is sheathing the roof with ply/Osb.
@@TheToolnut great shout especially with OSB or ply all the best Tony 👍
Nice to seen 2 masters of their trade back on the roof again. Is there a part 3 to this where we see the finished product?👍👍👍
Watch this space...

Loving the video but noticed you were not using nails. Wondering what type of screws you were using?
Detailed craftsmanship indeed.
