That's pretty fantastic, thanks for sharing. I love that it even shows how to build a jigFWIW, here is an ACTUAL truss plan which calls out gusset size AND nailing pattern.
My dad always said the most important thing in real estate was 'timing, timing, timing'. I didn't hear everyone else's first rule until I was in my late 20's. Dad was always trying to leverage everything : )Since the OP has never returned I will weigh in in this.

Pretty cool! I'm saving this document. I figured there had been designs out there for these trusses, not just a random framer hammering 1/2" plywood gussets to 2x4s, LOL.FWIW, here is an ACTUAL truss plan which calls out gusset size AND nailing pattern.
That documents lists 30 psf for roof live load, so appropriate for snow loading and over the typical 20 psf for roof live load for elsewhere in the US. They even published a graph for load vs deflection, and tested to failure at 115 psf live load! That's awesome!
