Your tape isn’t the only reason your cuts are short 😬 learn carpentry skills! #learn #measure

The tape measure is not always the reason why your segments are too short. Roulettes can show different results. In some places, measurements need to be perfect, while in others it's not so important. It is important that the frame is a tight fit. When marking out a frame, you always start from one point. So, when you mark and install the risers, they will stand steadily in the center. If you measure the distance between each riser separately, then on long sections, due to a bunch of small errors, you can be wrong by several centimeters. And this mistake can lead to displacement of the sheathing and risers. Since we mark the lower and upper straps at the same time, if one riser shifts, the rest will remain in place. Even if you have the correct measurement, you can make the wrong cut. You can make a mark that is too thick and lose millimeters, or the tape measure may sag and the segment will be too short. If you make a more precise mark and cut on the correct side of the line, the part will fit snugly. The vertical and supporting sections of the rafters must be perfect. If rafters are incorrectly measured or cut poorly, it can lead to misalignment of the support sections and problems in the ridge. So before you blame the craftsman or the various tape measures, make sure you are measuring and cutting correctly. Thank you for watching.
