Rick thank you.

Gary thank you so much.

Philip thanks. The 3D LP prints are from Rusty Rail and they are reasonably priced; I ordered 4 more to include in and around the Shop.

Dave thank you. That would be a novel idea.

Rich thanks; I've enjoying building this one.

Moving along:

Now that I've constructed the other 3 rafters, using my template, it's time to install then on the Shop. I wanted to make sure all the peaks were lined up so I grabbed a length of 2x10 and attached it  to the end rafters using straight pins to make sure everything lined up instead of just "eye balling" it.

All the rafters have been glued in place and the distance between each one is pretty much spaced evenly and plumb with the top beams.

Here's an end view and as you can see they are all lined up perfectly which should adding the subroof much easier; that of course is my next step. As always thanks for stopping by and for all your great comments and/or suggestions; they are very much appreciated.
