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

What happens here

The process begins by taking a wooden beam and marking it with a blue crayon to indicate the desired cut. Following the mark, a DeWalt circular saw is used to precisely cut the beam, creating a notch or shaping its end to fit into a specific joint. The cut piece is then removed to prepare the beam for assembly.

Goal: Prepare wooden beams for assembly by cutting them to the correct dimensions and shapes.
