Thanks for making it simple. You are amazing!

Only a tad over 7 degrees, no good for felt shingles here in the uk,

Vey informative, thanks, I found it hard to know what you where saying so had to use screen text, I will have to do one in English for us English speaking people..

Wow, the best video how to cut birds mouth using actual dimension but without using any calculation.

Thank you Brother, completely understandable

Sorry, but no freakin way

How do you determine the 3/8" depth? Does it vary with beam length?

thanks so much!

that's very slick

The seat cut isn’t deep enough.

lost me at width of trailer?

How far apart did you go on raftors

Thank you, know I know what I have been doing wrong.

Thank you ! A simple approach, which is what I need. I Appreciate you taking the time to post and share your experience !

Thank you for making it super easy.

Nice

Great video. I was hooked watching it. You used an 8 inch timber lock. Would I need to install hurricane ties after that? Or can I skip the hurricane ties. Thanks.

Or you can take your speed square and at each end of the rafter you can draw a straight line amd then measure the gap from the top plate to the bottom of the rafter amd go from what you measured to a zero point and then you have your birdsmouth.

Thank you for the video. Everything looks good, except the long screws.

As a journeyman carpenter with about 20 yrs in the business I can tell one thing absolutley true about this demonstration. If you showed up on a construction site and attempted to use this method to cut rafters you would not be on site for very long. This is NOT how you measure and cut rafters. It might would do the trick on a barn or shed with a straight gable.....maybe.....but it leaves room for too many mistakes. I would not recommend using it.

Well, I don't smoke cigars, but I was turning this over in my head and realized the triangle empty space below the rafter is the same if flipped up and reversed to the left. I just didn't know how to make the horizontal line other than measuring the height the rafter was from the plate on the right hand side, which might vary due to unevenness in the timber. So thank you! This is for an 8 x 12 block out building that will have a roof a hair over flat - 2 2 x 6 plates on one end and 1 2 x 6 on the other. It may turn out I'm cutting a whisker out!

I was trying to think of a way to do this after watching some really complicated UA-cam videos genius

Put some silicone sealer or soap on that screw before you drive it in and you decrease the amount of torque you will need to drive it in.

Thank You Scott for this!! Your the best! How is it working for you now five years later? Any regrets? Am thinking of doing the same thing.

A note of thanks. Watched several videos for this. Rather involved process. Then I watched yours. Couldn’t be more simple and effective. Thank you.

I bought plans from Woodprix and I did it very quickly.

Supreme!

I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.

Thank you for the vid. Just curious is 12” of rise over a span of 8 feet enough? Not sure that’s going to give you the minimum pitch required for shingles.

My adventure with woodworking started with Woodprix.

BRILLIANT. The easy way to cut a Birds Mouth

wow so cool thank you

Thank you!!!! One of the best demonstration I have seen on YT. Very clear and to-the-point instructions.

Nice video,breaks it down to be so easy,thank you

I cannot thank you enough Sir, been looking for this easy explanation without all the measuring. Thank you Sir.

what was your roof pitch? thanx

That very long screw, does it matter if you screw it from the top instead of from the bottom like the video?

Do you love woodworking? Try the Stodoys plans.

I thought of this in my own today and came on UA-cam to see if there was a better way. Cool to see someone else doing it

10 million videos on youtube about how to cut birdsmouth 99.999% are pure bullshit, making it harder to DIY'ers to do a simple job. This is by far THE BEST Video on youtube on this subject - Absolutely No BS Scott, you're fantastic

Well done sir, you are a national treasure! Like Jim Cramer

I realize this is a older video but as I was watching I saw what looks like a Mew in the background.

Hi Scott! Did you know youre a life saver? Im a wood worker and ive been trying to find simple methods for scribing birdsmouths all over the internet, and finally came across you. This is perfect. My question is, once I get my birdsmouth done, before installing, Id like to have both my gable ends cut so that they are parralel to my wall. I think you mentioned in the video that you would do with them afterwards. Is there a reason why?, and also do you have any tricks for cutting them before install? Thanks!

thanks for posting! you saved my ass re: 2"x12" (12 foot) pressure treated boards! They're all I have and this roof is gonna be insanely strong.

All the other dam videos used math they'll be like 3 ft subtract than divide than the square root, this one kills all the other thanx

That was clear and practical. Nice! Thank you.

best video to learn how to cut bird mouth rafters

Just saved me a load of time!

This was perfect explanation, thank you. After going through so many videos finally found one that made sense lol.

Best way I’ve seen yet 👍🏻
