Louis Mazerolle's Planche 28 Tréteaux

Tréteaux Dit Cadet
Trestle or sawhorse for the apprentice

This is from Louis Mazerolle's book, Traite Theorique Et Pratique De Charpente, planche 27-28.



I had developed this drawing, only to realize it was  wrong. I didn't get the hip rafters, sawhorse legs,correct in Plan View. So the geometric development of the sawhorse legs on the roof surface is wrong. 



Here's a couple of drawings with the correct sawhorse leg development in Plan View.



The correct geometric development for the sawhorse leg on the roof surface.

After Developing a 3D model of the Tréteaux Dit Cadet I see that my original hip rafter foot print was off slightly, but it affects the entire geometric layout of the model. Back to the drawing board. 


Finally got it right. The hip rafter foot print is now correct. Next, I developed the profile rafter slope just like a regular roof.  Swing some arcs to a line parallel with plan view. Draw the Tréteaux,Trestle,sawhorse leg, hip rafter on the real roof surface and transfer the lines to the timber just like the drawdown method.











Checking the bevel angles at the foot of the sawhorse/hip rafter.




Here I took the developed 3D legs of the sawhorse and rotated them into position to make sure the 2D geometric development worked.

Next up, are the side crossing timbers of the sawhorse.

For the side cross rafter I used the sawhorse bevel angle and the sawhorse footprint angle to develop the cross piece. It's not precise, but it's a lot easier than Mazerolle's method. The barbe angle should be 3.38° instead of the 3.50° angle I used, but this is less than the thickness of pencil lead. 


Here I develop the 3D view of the barbe angle to check it against the footprint angle I used.

Next up, are the front crossing timbers of the sawhorse.

The crossing timbers of the sawhorse can be laid on top of the elevation view for geometric layout.

Layover Valley Rafter Basics

Before I get into the Hexenschnitt for the Layover Valley Rafter I needed to review the basic geometry that defines the layover valley rafter. I needed to make sure I could draw the layover valley rafter correctly in plan view (ground plan). Here's one method of a basic drawing using the layover valley rafter backing triangle to position the layover valley rafter material on the roof surface that defines the  layover valley rafter in plan view. The  layover valley rafter top bevel is easily defined by extending the  layover valley rafter backing triangle to the top of the  layover valley rafter. The other  layover valley rafter line in plan view is defined by the bottom edge of the  layover valley rafter material sitting on the  layover valley rafter backing triangle. (Roof Surface). The  layover valley rafter plan view lines at the intersection of the two roofs. I tried this method for drawing the  layover valley rafter, but this method...

Hip Rafter Edge Bevel and Backing Angle

In complex roof framing there are 7 main roof framing angles. Hip Rafter Backing Angle Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle Plain Titl (DP) Main Plan Angle Adjacent Plan Angle  Main Profile Rafter Slope Angle Adjacent Profile Rafter Slope Angle In this article I will discuss the hip rafter backing angle and the valley sleeper bevel angle. These two angles determine the miter angle and and saw blade bevel angles for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are plumb to the earth and for jack rafters and purlin rafters that are skewed from the eave line. A thorough knowledge of these two angles is critical in complex roof framing using geometry or trigonometry. The hip rafter edge bevel was avoided in the 12th century on some roof structures by rotating the hip rafter into the roof surface plane. However, by avoiding the hip rafter edge bevel, the carpenters-builders had to have a knowledge of the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle. They didn't call it the Valley Sleeper Bevel Angle, but it's the same...

Layover Valley Rafter Hexenschnitt #3

In the book Das neue Buch vom alten Wissen der Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Schiftung The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing The new book on the ancient knowledge Roof Framing Geometry by Bernd Küppers I'm stuck on page 23. The geometry in the book, just doesn't return the correct miter angle for the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut (Hexenschnitt). I don't know if I'm drawing it incorrectly, or the BE (Bottom Edge Plane of the Layover Valley Rafter) should be drawn differently. Similar drawing at File: Kehlbohle mit Hexenschnitt.jpg There's 3 canted planes that define the Layover Valley Rafter Witches Cut Miter Angle. The main roof surface, the square tail fascia plane of the main roof and the the square tail fascia plane of the adjacent roof.  I think the problem with my geometric drawings is defining the intersection of the roof surface with the adjacent  square tail fascia plane.
