Just in case you didn't know, Swanson make a metric speed square with a metric version of the rise over run pitch scale. It's highly archaic being that instead of say 1 in 12 being 1 inch rise over 1 foot, it's in Decimetres (Which as the name implies is 1 tenth of a metre). So 1 decimetre over 1 metre is 5.7°. ..Not hugely useful, as who the hell wants to work out decimal angles, but there it is. Again, I don't know anyone who uses this system, but I do have the square myself. Good video mate
Nice. I never could work out why Swanson made the metric version larger than the original. I like using them but the metric one is too big to hang off my belt without getting in the way.
Thank you so much. Building my first diy roof and live in the land of imperial/metric, Canada, where we constantly still go back and forth between the two despite metric being much more reasonable. I’m in sciences so imperial seems a bit ridiculous to me but a necessary evil when building here.
As a second year apprentice your channel is by far the most concise and easy to understand ive found, thanks a lot for all your content
Hi Joe, thanks for your comment, great to hear.
To be fair your the only one that showed me what I wanted to know the angle of the hip in relation to the common perfect thanks 👍
Thanks Mate, Glad it was helpful!
Very clear and professional explination
Thanks buddy
Great video thanks for making these great videos
Thanks from a carpenter that didn't no how to get hip cut with speed square
Thanks, mate, I'm glad you like it
