Joe Bartok's 2014 Studies

Here's a picture of the studies for the winter of 2014 by Joe Bartok. Joe's studies include the Golden Rhombus, Golden Rhombus Parallelogram, Trèteaux Angles -- Trestle Angles -- trèteau à devers, Devers De Pas -- DP Line, trait carré -- TC, when hips collide, rotated rafters, rotated hip rafters, Warlock Cut, Warlock Rhombic, Non-Rectangular Sections, Pentahedron and Non-Rectangular Sections, Trirectangular Tetrahedron, Raccord--Origami 3D models all with upper and lower claw angles.

  There's been a lot of trigonometry in Joe's studies, but there's also been a lot of geometry in his drawings leading up to his cardboard models. It was from his geometry, that he developed on his own, without looking at the French or German books, that some of my Roof Framing Geometry Proposition – Axioms were based on. The German Dachstuhlbau geometrie method or the 'Art du Trait', developed in the 13th century by the French are all based on stereotomtic principles developed 500+ BC for the stone masons. Whether we're using the Basiswissen Dachfläche Ausmittlung or Shiftungen method developed by the German Zimmerman or the Art Du Trait, “Compagnonnage” system in France by the French Compagnons, both methods are for developing the intersection of 3D planes drawn in 2D space just like Joe's geometric drawings.

Other than glimpses on the Internet I’ve never read or studied the books by Louis Mazerolle et al. For sure the timber framers and carpenters of the past (and some today) would have been aware of and understood the reference lines and planes required to lay out their work. But I've wondered if it was it done to an organized, universal set of rules (http://sbebuilders.blogspot.ca/2014/04/roof-framing-geometry-propositions.html)? Or were they locating the nodes or intersects of lines and connecting the points (like I did for the Warlock Cuts and offset rafters)?

My roof framing geometry horizons have certainly expanded these last two months, lots of new ways to look at the geometry. What's really cool about this is that the seemingly "different" intersections all tie into or are related to one another. _____________________________________________________________

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.
