Hip Roof Model 2 - are you ready?
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2015 2:27 pm
I wanted to offer study material for those members who cannot travel for the courses, or do not wish to wait until more advanced courses take place. Almost all the people interested in the workshops wish to tackle the first two courses, so it may be a while until we get moved along the series.
How will this study session work? I've decided I'm not going to require anyone to complete the material - if you simply want to collect info, study it academically, etc., then that is fine by me. If you wish to engage with the material and make the model (the best way to learn), I'll provide forum space where you can post pictures of your work, ask questions and discuss the project with other members. I'm hoping some of you choose to do that.
This second hip model, like the first, is regular plan, regular slope. There are many differences however. We'll be working with a steeper slope for one thing, and this will involve a layout offset in relation to the wall plates. The rafters will terminate in fascia on both ends and top, and the upper end of the hip will tenon into a post. The keta cross-over joint will be different, as will the rafter-to-hip connections. The hip rafter will feature some additional detailing as compared to the previous model. Also, we will be delving deeper into hiyodori, with a look at a couple of variants of hiyodori sen. Many of the involved timber sections are a bit larger than the previous model, however this is still considered a half-scale exercise.
Again, how will this work? Well, as before I'll produce mailings, detailing the construction and layout of the project. Not sure how many mailings will be involved, but you can expect a minimum of 10 pages per mailing, often they will be 20 pages or more however. Mailings will cost $10/ea. No need to sign up or subscribe, as I'll post up when a new mailing is ready. I will aim to produce an new mailing about every 2~3 weeks, hopefully at least 1 per month. If I see someone tackling the project and getting stuff done at a faster pace than I am making new mailings, then I will likely feel motivated to produce material at a faster pace.
If you haven't tackled any of the previous projects in the carpentry drawing series, then you are still welcome to jump in, however be forewarned that I will not be going over previous study material to catch you up. If you ask me a question which has been covered previously, then I'll refer you to the pertinent TAJCD essay or study group mailing.
All previous mailings are $5.00 each, by the way. If you've purchased TAJCD essays from me in the past, you'll know that I accept paypal to my email address.
Here's an overview of the new model - if you want to engage with this project, contact me for a material list. The first mailing should be out by the end of the month. Hope to see you there!
