Uh oh, a rafter dying in to another structure?! What could this be?!

What happens here

Once the wooden beam is cut to the desired shape, it is carefully positioned into its intended place within the existing framework, ensuring a snug fit. A Hitachi pneumatic nail gun, connected to an air compressor via a green air hose, is then used to securely fasten the beam. Multiple nails are driven through the beam into the connecting piece, providing a strong and durable joint.

Goal: Securely attach wooden beams to form a structural joint.
