Default Re: My Old Kentucky Dome Enclosure

Great rainy day activity: make roof trusses in the garage

I cut a triangle out of masonite to use as a simple jig to assure all my trusses where assembled with the same angle. The roof has a 30deg slope (7/12 roof pitch).





This is my first project with metal studs. They are great fun to work with. The best benefit is the light weight.
