@simon_bowler: Who doesn’t love a cheat code! I certainly do! Cutting the roof is my favourite chapter of any of the Oak Frame Gazebo’s you’ve ever seen me build! Big, instant visual impact. Yes, this method takes longer than using maths alone, but in my opinion, particularly when working with Oak Beams… it guarantees a level of accuracy that a calculator just can’t deliver…. #roofing #roof #carpentry #cheatcode #construction

Used this method for ages with adaptations for different roofs , use a framing square with a fence which is great for setting out rafters with stepping off measuring .

Impressive, However….. can you play “smoke on the water” by deep purple on your handsaw? We were taught how to do this in our last year at college 🤔
