Framing curves

Chris bought sheet of 1/2 inch plywood and cut them in strips to make a beam to attach rafters to. We had to get the pieces to line up with the other rafters at the top of the beam we were making. It took a bit of figuring to get it right. There is not only a bend in the board but a slight curve because you are going down on the curve at an angle. The only way it worked out was to cut the pieces shorter to make sure the top edge lined up correctly.

This is what it looked like when it was done.

Just wanted to show the bigger picture of where the beam is. The rafters for the roof will sit on top of it. It is getting darker earlier so we are not seeming to get as much done in the evenings. Weekends are really the only time we get to work on it and then we have to adjust for rain.
