Sorry to hear about your loss, I know you'll make him proud. For learning woodworking, may I suggest looking into a local (or the nearest) maker space? They have folks who are willing to help teach and work on projects with folks. :)

If it’s not this or low budget cinematic masterpieces I don’t want it.

@@hashimhalsteadit won’t be long until someone makes a reaction video to this. They’ll add a frame below and you can watch them nod to everything he says. Probable title- “You’ll never guess what this guy did with these life-saving tips!!!!!!”

@@mdhaynie this is painfully accurate… 😢

Not to worry, some day you will encounter a speed square and you’ll be able to say, i know how to use one of them.

I'm with you on this

Hey, good info! Thank you!

Ha ! .. It's actually 16.97 not 17 if anyone want to get testicle .Lol . That little difference can bite you in the butt on intense roof frames . . But this vid is obviously not for that. It's generic and introductory . When you buy a Swanson . Most include what I call " The Book of The Brain Dead " A particular pitch add this much to the rafter for the run . Then the inches . Presto . The answer . So flawed and on low pitches can create substantial errors of drop . The numbers are rounded off . At least on a real framing square there are listed decimals for common pitches . Much better yet . But when you step into bastards . Many rely on a Construction Blaster Calculators and have no idea why it derived that length . I impress on all my fledglings . Learn The Math . See it operate , watch it move .Speed Triangles are for laying out plates , scraping drywall and scraping ice off your windshield . I have a class coming up on taking calculating Common Length Difference on hip jacks with HPCL " Heel Plumb Cut Line " to an accuracy.that NASA,would approve. Just playing around . I am a master carpenter with 43 years of inexperience . This vid was good enough for Learners . Had a few errors but nothing egregious . All my students . I emphasize .. Math !! . Let the Math do the work

🧐 i don’t think i am who you think, do you mind sharing who i sound like?

@@james_gatlin if it’s not you, it’s your voice double, different mic settings maybe, but the channel is called Alien Theory, it’s a fantastic narration channel if you’re into the lore, and I think you/both of you are doing a brilliant job, well done 👍🏻 👍🏻

Awesome, its true we sound very similar, thanks for the comment.

Soon

i noticed that too. I looked for a comment like yours before restating the above.

Thanks for the comment, Milwaukee, Empire, or Swanson are good in my experience, theres also some links in the description.

@@james_gatlin Thank you for your reply!
