Looking good!
Cutting rafters is a pain in the ass
I started on rafters today. After the first rafter, I've realised that cutting seat cuts with a miter saw is not going to work. I'll try with a circular saw next week.
(This is after discovering that my plans had the rafters and rear wall cladding trying to share the same space. Using a circular saw on its side 6 feet in the air is fun, I can tell you.)

I've realised that cutting seat cuts with a miter saw is not going to work. I'll try with a circular saw next week.
I've gone the opposite way. First tried jigsaw but knots in wood mean the blade goes all over the place. Tried circular saw next, which is how proper framers do it, but I'm not very good with one manually without a guide. Found my big sliding mitre saw the easiest and cleanest way to do it in the end.

Had my own shed building fun this weekend. Was hoping to the back and sides all cladded up but I'm too slow. Cutting rafters is a pain in the ass if you don't know what you're doing and have OCD tendancies. Looked so easy on youtube.
