thanks for reply, yes I will likely pay to have done. was really looking to understand options to approach. I haven't had very good luck with contractors solving complicated remodel or addition solutions. would like to understand a couple diff approaches before i contact for bids.

tried to sketch, the black lines are hip roof and beam and post support, im looking to understand where the red lines are do i need to add vertical supports on the brick side? and if not how do I attach the first jack rafter closest to brick.

thanks for the reply, from looking at examples of a hip roof, believe I understand the roof framing components. I'm trying to understand the supports, do I tie the first common rafter into gable end wall, or add its own vertical supports, and then how to support the top plate around the perimeter.

yes, Ive been watching them, great videos. I plan on making his plumb bob when ready.

No it was really a experiment. Got the lathe back together and couldn't resist. I need to work out a few kinks then I'll dig in to trying to turn to a spec. The carriage is a little sticky on the ways and both the tool post and compound slide have tons of backlash. Sent from my iPhone using...

Thanks for the advice on choking up on the material. Only one one close call bit dug in think I messed up finding material center. Had some misc tooling tried a few and even to an amateur it was amazing to see how well sharp bits cut vs. dull. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
