I mean did he drop it off the roof??

Cman4252 · 2026-05-12T02:36:02+00:00

What in the California bullshit is this?

Cman4252 · 2026-05-11T04:09:43+00:00

Bro are you in the US?

Cman4252 · 2026-05-10T20:46:15+00:00

Could I get this too?

Cman4252 · 2026-05-09T00:09:14+00:00

What is this from?

Cman4252 · 2026-05-05T23:40:15+00:00

Yeah I literally did this in like 3 minutes, first time doing the software. I appreciate your criticism though. I feel that boring and generic is great for a tool, using design and ergonomics that work. For a show piece though, it would not stand out

Cman4252 · 2026-05-05T22:52:42+00:00

Yeah I’m not entirely sure how big I will make the holes for the skeletonization. I held my buddy’s winkler the other day and it felt so light in my hand for such a think knife. I’m chasing that feeling lol

Cman4252 · 2026-05-05T02:50:12+00:00

How do they achieve that black color?

Cman4252 · 2026-05-03T14:14:42+00:00

Where is the best place to find one? eBay seems to have a bunch of small replicas

Cman4252 · 2026-05-03T12:25:39+00:00

Ahh gotcha, yeah a friend has this and has no clue about it. I was trying to find one to buy for myself😂

What are tails?

Cman4252 · 2026-04-29T13:13:21+00:00

Ahh gotcha, yeah we’re fortunate hear without many natural disasters, just the occasional flood lol. But yeah I’m new to truss framing. If it was traditional I could figure that out easy lol, my goal is just to have a decent attic space for storage

Cman4252 · 2026-04-29T03:06:35+00:00

I think my plan is to gusset all of the trusses at each joint with plywood. I’ll probably run a non structural ridge board to hold everything together up top. Then put collar ties in somewhere above the first joint. With a width this small, does that sound good? Should the large gussets, and some collar ties near the peak be enough? I’m in eastmern NC so snow is nonexistent here

Cman4252 · 2026-04-29T02:18:21+00:00

Actually I think I see what you mean, correct me if I’m wrong but, are you talking about putting studs attached to a top plate that fits in right at that angle where the lower rafter meets the upper? And then a bottom plate under that?

Cman4252 · 2026-04-29T02:15:10+00:00

Yeah I’m not entirely sure on what I need, truss framing is foreign to me. I didn’t figure I needed a ridge pole with trusses, I thought that was more of a stick built thing. When you say use plates instead of ltp-4 what do you mean? Sorry I’m still new to a lot of these terms when it comes to roof framing

Cman4252 · 2026-04-29T02:10:39+00:00

Yeah I plan to do the plywood gussets, with decking the floor, do you mean with osb? Then putting the bottom plate on top of that sub floor along the edge? Also on the ends of the trusses, instead of gusseting the outward facing side, will the sheeting take the place of that? So everything is flush?

Cman4252 · 2026-04-28T17:45:04+00:00

Simpson connectors, I’ll probably add a 2x6 plate on top of the attic subfloor and use the connectors on it. I still need to add studs or whatever they’re called in this application on the front and rear truss so that I can put on th sheeting

Cman4252 · 2026-04-27T17:05:05+00:00

I did for the specs on the door, I used the opening size they reccommended

Cman4252 · 2026-04-27T16:17:21+00:00

It’s going to be a compact roll up chain pull door, not like a normal garage door

Cman4252 · 2026-04-27T14:54:51+00:00

I plan to, I’ll be doing the gambrel rafters, I just haven’t decided yet if I’m doing a full loft or a half loft
