- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- This is the first episode of a series that I am making called "Construction Rocks." This series will help teach skills useful when building a house. Note: As I mentioned in the video I do not own the music. The first music score is "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Theme" composed by Ennio Montenegro. The second music score is "Rock This Town" composed by Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats. I also do not own the sound effects.

I'M dumb as a rock when it comes to math, but you did a great job in explaining...and love your comedic drama and the sound affects.
Excellent video, and just what I was looking for. Thanks so much. Keep rocking, John.
You make so easy to understand great job
Creepy into music but very funny. Great explanations. Simply the best rafter making video. 👍
John, thanks for making this video. I just got speed square and the reason I got is because I saw other home builder were using it. I was just gonna use it for straight line. I hope you are making more video about how to use speed square. Many thanks buddy. Have a wonderful day.
Great video . Nice to watch
Great and entertaining Video!!!!
Nice video John and very instructive. Stay at it. You're a good teacher!
This goofy ass nerd made it more simple than the directions from the square! I will look for his videos first from now on, when I need something done!! :)
Goa Rep i am appreciative of what he did....but the big but....and i think it is the big but...he did not show how to figure out the length of the rafter and also the length of the rafter if it is attached to a ridge board...and what about the height of the ridge board if it is used in conection with the rafters...
@@erlpen2016 will a speed square show you that?....didn't think so.
my math teacher dad read the right angle square instructions in the 60s and said he said outloud, what does this mean? ? so he figured it out with math.
Thank you, super easy to understand, and great job on explaining what the fancy words mean.
thank you so much for this vidio it helped me to make patio.
Best video on rafters !
Actually the clearest example I’ve seen thanks
Thanks for the simple instructions video dude
good video. i am getting into the wood framing and this helped me a lot. thanks
Great, video!!!!
The best so simple hope u well and thanks
Holly shit, you answered all my questions...Thanks man!
Love this video
Good job, keep having fun forget the haters
this vid reminds me so much about Sheldon and Fun with Flags!! :)
+sudzraj Haha! I looked up the video, and I found it interesting that Sheldon used the exact same type of camera that I used to make my episodes :)
Hey John im trying to build a green house like about 12"w n 24"L.... i dont have any skills working with wood at all.. but watching few videos of how to build the foundation n walls i think i got it... but i was really afraid of thw rafters for the cwiling...with this video i think i got it.... thank you for the time you took to make this video!!! Cheers amigo...
You are good carpenter thanks for you great help
OMG
I am going to built my shed this year!
Finally!!! The roof was always holding me back.
You have explained it so well that I am just so inspired. Thank you.
I SO SO SO know what you mean! I have such a silly shed building story all because I didn't know what this guy could have told me.
Hilarious video. Very informative. My first rafter turned out perfect from watching this video. Keep up the funny video. Cheers
Nice one...thanks!
Thank you so much. Wanted to know how to do this and its so simple. I appreciate it very much.
It looks like he makes his first measurement at 11 and the second measurement at 13. That doesn't seem very accurate.
I noticed that also, came on here to figure it out. This is the second video I see that they don't use the mark that represents the number. I'm over here second guessing myself.
He is only giving an example, but if you measure accurately, it works!
You also need to deduct 3 quarters of an inch to make it fit perfect, I guess for beginners is not the perfect video, but if you have common sense, you can figure that out!
@@cantiflas777 very true one guy in a video its quite lomg but purposely cuts the plumb cut withoit allowing half of the ridge thickness then cuts it at the end most of it is common sense and basic math really as you kmow
So you really gone say mark it at 12 but mark it at 11. And then 13...
Hey, I'm glad I found your video. Finally I can make a rafter---cool! Thanks, and I like the humor.
Good job.
This video is priceless! Thanks for making it! I’m learning how to make a shed and this helped fill in huge gaps in the process.
What is the pink lumber.
Assuming that your rafter beam is a 2x4 you need to cut 3/4" off at the top of your rafter so that your bird-mouth will set on your wall 2x4 even and not half past it.
It was a very practical and helpful video ....maybe you can help me with a little project that I am working on... ok here it is. I am building a lighthouse lamp 8 sides (octagon ijiji)...but the roof is killing me, can not get it to fit all eight sections it is 8 centimeters on the higher point each section is 10 centimeters high with a base of 5.5 centimeters wide...I would love a 2 centimeters tail.....any advice / I did try with 12 high and 6 wide sections but all I got was a pointy roof with a cero tail.I need to know how to cut the sides of each section so they fit perfectly together ...i tried an angle of 11.3/ 22.5 but failed... somebody said it is just a 45 angle. so each section fits perfectly to the next one .....
Maybe I'm late to class but my speed square didn't come with instructions. I have always used basic math to find angles. Like 45-15 gives me 30 degrees. Seems accurate enough. Anyone know where I can get the pdf version of the instructions so I can print it out?
Very good demonstration? You combined theory of square with actual demonstration. I watched heaps of videos talking about how to do it but u combined theory with practical demonstration. Your place in. Carpentry heaven is assured. I'm sure god will give u a brand new tool box when u get there!
Or seeing as the diagonal of your speed square is 45 degrees you can just Instead use that to mark a 12 pitch rather than pivot your common scale
Hi John,
Your pitch would not be true 12/12
You would need to add on HAP to your length. Once you determine the size of your birds mouth (no more than 1/3) this measurement needs to be added to the rise for the correct pitch to be obtained and to set your ridge board.
A rafter cannot be laid out with just a speed square, you would also need a tape measure to measure where the birds mouth would be for a particular building…
Whereas with a framing square you need nothing but the framing square because you can “step it off” for the length of the rafter
I really appreciate the simplicity of the video! Wish you could have had less background noise...Thanks!
Yes, it is funny but it is also very informative.
Easy to understand, although the method to determine the overhang is not right. But probably close enough for most construction. What he did was measure the diagonal on an angle. The measurement would have to be at 90 from the building
Best video I've ever came across in regards to common rafters! Ha ha ha you taught it better than I could've ha ha ha all I do is point and yell ha ha ha jk... I send people here cause you make it easy to understand and you make it fun. Be safe there
+John cassler how far from the end of the common rafter do you mark your bird's mouth?
Depends on your preference on how much overhang you want. They can vary based on taste. Just make them all the same, and account for fascia and subfascia boards that go on the ends.
Very informative and comical...In a Rick Moranis kind of way lol
Please buy a pencil & a sharp blade to put a point on it, the asphalt you used to mark the plumb cut is not to accurate, gotta love these guys!
How many videos to do simple geometry? A birds mouth weakens the rafter .don't use them.
OMG, your right , Fun With Flags!!!! That's hysterical!
Thank you jonhn for your tutorial vlog on how escalate the frame of a raffter,I like the way you teach,thank u.
its my 2nd day working and i need to learn all this thanks helped out alot
No one mentioned that you NEVER cut a board between two sawhorses.
+Ted Sobocienski You are absolutely right, it is very unsafe to cut between two sawhorses. I was just in a hurry to get that scene done for the movie (it was 100 degrees F that day).
Ted Sobocienski he cut the video just before that, we know what happens 👍🏻
Ted Sobocienski you did a great job I learned from it, and it was kinda entertaining
Idk but you are so funny so I Subscribed to you just for Funniness
Awesome way to explain it, thanks.
lol, a little cringy, but good info!
Good video, very helpful, you go straight to the root, thanks.
Thanks John. this is very informative video. Keep up the good work!
This was a great video!!!
Thanks for the video. to the point and well performed.
Simplest than ever. Bravo.
John, we need to clean up your audio. - you must be using audio editing software in order to add your cool intro music. What software are you using?
PS, I don't know why my name is Experimental Video Projects. Must be left over from some art class I took a number of years ago.
thanks man im glad you have what it takes to put yourself out there in this day in age of every single person having some kinda two cents to put in and are never satisfied with someone elses finished results
very good and super easy, simple, instruction.keep it up.Great video.Like
i coundn't not laugh at 7:45
can you make a vlog explaining how to work out the run and rise of the rafter
great video...and funny
Excellent (the sound could be improved), but very educational !
Great video and information
Good Stuff!
think I will visit your site also
Thanks
Great job your a great teacher and a lot of fun
What the hell! Is wrong with this clown lol smh
......the way yu made the first & only cut I watched wuz totally wrong....I'm sure yer blade got in a bind that's why we didn't see yu finish the cut....didn't watch the rest of the video....after watching the first cut.....
Hey man dat was wicked an helpful
Lol. A 12 and 12 roof is 45 degrees. Just flip your square for whenever it's 12 and 12. Good luck in construction
holy crap this is funny
Funny millennial however he keeps it uncomplicated unlike some other vids regarding rafters.. As a novice woodworker I really appreciate this young man's straight to the point how to...
Gave us 7-12 with the speed square
John on tour bird mouth , by not going up 1/12 in when the drywaller hangs his top sheet it will cause a 2 in gap at bottom sheet, unless I miss understood. Other than that I am impressed that for your age you know you stuff ps very funny
Could have done without the intro.
I have seen so many videos with old dudes using calculators, note pads and 30 minutes videos and this kid just told me how to do it in the most simple way!!
You are the best my friend!!!
I'm subscribing to your channel,
Thank you very much!!!😊
Thanks you for sharing this video with Excellent Explanation on the rafters,good,I lake that.
Hi John you goof ball. You made something that seems hard...real easy!
You just might want to purchase a mic so the sound quality is greatly improved.
Thanks for the video.
I watched a few videos but among them all your is short, smooth and simple. You are really rocking. Thx
I'm a novice but i thinking is that the longer the rafter the angle would change in relation to the lenght
Hello, I need to ask you something:
Which would be the correct measure of the "Pitch" for a A-Frame house? bearing in mind that the angle would be about 60 degrees more or less.
Thank you for sharing your videos.
Regards from Spain
Hi, so if you want to have a rafter A-Frame that is about 60 degrees, the common rafter pitch would be 22. So the pitch measurement ratio would be 22/12.
Hello John, many thanks for your answer.
thanx man ..... good job
As the truck said after it was topped off with gas, "Tanks.
Very good demo. I never knew there were different kinds of rafters. Thanks
Felt like I was watching Wayne's World... Except I actually learned something.
Now if I can only find my speed square!
I like your presentation. It was very straightforward and informative.
Thank you Construction Rocks ! After 100mil videos - by speed sq g-ds I thinks I can nail it !
Holy smoke great video
Thanks John, you are goofy. But entertainment makes the job easier!! And laughter is what we all need these days
Thank you John for your good videos.
Please continue making more videos like this ,so we can learn from you how to build farmhouses.
Thank you for your video
Thanks my Friend !!
Thank you very much! You made it very plain to understand. You are a great teacher. This morning I was worried about cutting common rafters for a new storage shed. Now I'm clear on how it's done.
my speed square has the dotted line at 75 degrees and 4.25 yours is at 80 and 5?
