The one that looks like a train station is going to be the mill work shop that Adam my brother will run. the other is going to be the bench shop. here are some pic as it is a building we work on between jobs. it is also too show case my work. the upper story will be a gallery.

The explanation is a rather simple one. Angles work off of a radius, meaning that the distance from the pivot point is always constant. Roof pitches work off of a rise per foot run. So as the rise increases so does the distance from the pivot point.

Beautiful building by the way.

Sorry for not getting back sooner.

The main is a 12 in 12 with the domers and over hangs 6 in 12. Something that has aways intrigued me is that a 5 in 12 pitch is about half the angle of a 12 in12 pitch roof. Common scene would say that a 6 in 12 is half the angle of a 12 in 12 but it's not.

Anyone care to explain why or coment?

Jack,

Could you tell me the roof pitch angles on the railroad station shop?
