A procedure for marking out and cutting a rafter by hand - the main timber in a timber framed, pitched roof. This demonstration is on a model sized rafter and meant for beginners or handy people to help get the idea. It is not meant to be a full size rafter with a roofing square or I would have used one. I hope this is helpful to some people.

your eaves (or overhang) is cut afterwards with a stringline and a level,not a chalkline and a bevel.its way more accurate.

just use a framing square and a pencil….this method is ridiculous!

This method pretty much sucks. Grab a framing square or a speed square.

we use a power planer to cut our birdies.

wow what a waste of time, just use a framing square or if youre making models only a speed square it’s 1 tool and will take half as much time. I cant believe how much extra work went into making that 1 single rafter. I build real houses and in those 6 minutes I would have built 2 or 3 full sized rafters.
