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.

[Philip]

Cool man thanks!

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.

Howdy Larry,

The LPs add an even more character to the shop.  It seems a shame to cover up those fine details with a roof, but it does look good. Nice work.

Have fun,
mike

Mike thanks. By the time I get done with the Shop you'll be able to see all those details just fine.

Great job on the rafters

[Larry C]

Curt thank you. Roofs are my least favorite build job; but sometimes it needs to be done.

[Jerry]

Fantastic build!

[Rick]

Rafters look good.
Will you be adding lights?

[Pennman]

Larry,

Great idea on how to match up the roof rafters.
I do the same with checking using a piece of stripwood, but never
thought of pinning it in place, good work.
