Witches cut: Hexenschnitt:

Example 3: The true witches cut using the basic method

On unequal pitched roofs the hip- or valley rafter is inclined less than the rafters or jack rafters and it gets the so-called witches cut eave cut (tail cut). This witches cut only occurs on tail cuts that are not plumb cuts at the eave line. If the unequal sloped main and adjacent roof rafters have a right angle rafter tail cut (square tail fascia) and this cut direction is transmitted to the hip rafters, one speaks of a true witches cut.

To illustrate a cross-sectional direction it requires two points at different heights. The eave line as height 0 (zero) offers itself as the first point in elevation.

The second elevation line, in the example image -30 cm, you can choose at will. The farther they are away from each other, the more accurate the scribing. It is important that the same elevation line height is chosen in all profiles.

If you now extend the direction of the tail cut, down to the elevation line, there are two points of intersection.

Firstly, the cutting direction with eave height and on the other one is the cutting direction with elevation line -30 cm.

Drop plumb lines from these intersections at the elevation line and run them through to the ground plan, until they meet the edge of the hip rafter ground plan.

The newly acquired points you plumb back to the hip rafter profile in elevation, its height accordingly, and connecting the point with the one at the hip rafter elevation line.

If you connect the intersection of the elevation lines and the intersection of the eaves, there is the resultant edge of the witch’s cuts in the ground plan.

If you bring the two points, of its height according, to the hip rafter profile, you get the actual view of the completed work at the hip rafter tail cut.

Note: I used 150mm in my example drawings for the elevation line.

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.
