He was a West coast house framer. Wrote tons of articles for fine home building magazine. He gots some vids on that you tube . Sadly he is no longer with us

Proper framing of stairs and roofs is becoming a lost art. Good on him for sharing his knowledge.

everyone went to trusses is why
Stairs are not hard if you know the formula
But sometimes you do have to get away from the norm

Randy, that is truth here for sure.

Not only has everyone here gone to trusses but the stairs are all built off site in a factory, hauled to site and then installed.

If you know how to read a framing square, you can cut all simple gable rafters, hip rafters, king rafters/jack rafters, etc, etc from the saw horse, knowing the pitch of the roof. I haven’t been the saw man in years...I’m sure I’d *f-wordk it up by now...and it’d be “gimmee that measurement.”

...whether they’re birds mouth tail ends or cantilever rafters ends...cantilever ain’t nothing but a simple pitch cut.
