Got the rest of the lumber today. Dirt work is done except for a drainage ditch next to the hill!

Thanks. I'm pretty handy but Im always ready to learn more!!

Bought the 2x10x20 rafters tonight. Also bought the perlins and post! Need two more post. Didn't have enough at the lumber yard! Now is calculate my metal and get ready to buy! Had a little helper in one of my pictures.

OLDIRON: Those truss look like a good design. How did you attach your new shop to the old? Joist hanger

At a local lumber yard in Pryor Oklahoma!!

Looks like I 6 1/4" up there to stick the board in. I could possibly move the 2x purlin at the end of the existing roof and move it up the roof to gain more space. I've attacked a picture of the tape measure by the existing truss. The second sketch is a question. Since I only have 6 1/4...

Yes Kreg pocket screw kit. If you do any wood working what so ever, a Kreg pocket jig is a must. I haven't had mine long but it's the best thing in the world for wood working.

Finished up and delivered my father in laws new kitchen table.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense now. I was talking with a friend earlier and he suggested using a 16' 2x10 and a 5' one. Then sandwich plywood between two more with with the 5' on the 16' end and the 16' on the 5' end. Something like this picture. Probably overkill though. And...

That's a good idea. Not really sure if I can picture it without drawing or something. I will do some research and see what I can find!

OLDIRON: Thanks for the response. Yeahs I plan on having some dirt work done to move the hill back. I've already moved probably 6 dump truck loads. The hill was around 8 ft from the back of my shop before I started this project. My land is all shell and drains well but I understand and...

Did you ever get this project done. Getting ready to do the same to mine. Would love to see pictures!!

This is the inside of my buddies shop. He went 15' but I want to go 20'. Need how to do rafters to go that far

The grey building is mine and the inside with the lathe in the picture is mine. All the others are of his. He only went 15 ft and cost him 4000 dollars. I'm wanting to go 20' and do it myself!

I don't plan on putting supports. Wanted it clear span. Yes that's my friends addition. I will post pictures of the inside of mine and also his
