This is not about mathematics, technical drawing or complex roof framing.

This is art.

As it was difficult for many to cut, the carpenters in bygone days dubbed the Hip rafter compound angles to accommodate square fascia the Witch Cut. The Intersecting Hip Rafters presented a similar challenge so it seems appropriate to name the compound angle the Warlock Cut.

Note: I've been studying the French compagnons charpentiers art of line, trait de charpenterie, that was developed over the last 700 years. A lot of the construction lines in the book Traité théorique et pratique de charpente by Louis Mazerolle are misleading or not understandable for developing the intersection of timbers. This treatise by Joe Bartok on the geometry and trigonometry of the Warlock Cut presents the intersection of tilted hip rafters, when hips collide, in such a way that we can now unfold a intersecting joint of tilted, devers de pas,  rafters precisely. Philibert De l’Orme, Mathurin Jousse, François Derand and even Girard Desargues would be impressed by this study.

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 seems to be slow of a process for determinin

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.
