Day 3 shed build 💪 weather has been finding me on this one! #shed #carpentry #tools

What happens here

The builder is seen working on sawhorses, cutting and assembling the components for the roof structure. These are likely pre-cut pieces of dimensional lumber being joined to form triangular roof trusses or rafters. The Milwaukee nail gun is again used to efficiently connect these pieces, creating the skeletal framework for the shed's roof.

Goal: Construct the individual triangular roof trusses.

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw — Cutting dimensional lumber to size and angle for trusses (implied)
  • Dimensional Lumber — The primary material for constructing the roof trusses
  • Milwaukee FUEL M18 Brad Nailer Milwaukee — Fastening the truss components together
  • Pencil — Marking cut lines on lumber
  • Sawhorses — Providing a stable elevated surface for cutting and assembling lumber
  • Tape Measure — Measuring lumber for accurate cuts and assembly
  • Nails — Securing the truss components
