   my advice is to get the book " a roof cutters secrets" by will holliday. it is a journal of light construction book and in it you will find step by step instructions and details complete with pictures of exactly how to do it.

   the book also has many other types of roof building/layout information that i like. his simple effective system is my favorite.

   Gary, I'm not sure which article you're looking for, but you can search on the magazine index by going to "MAGAZINE" in pale blue bar under the FineHomebuilding.com mast, then "Magazine index" in the left-hand column.

   Here's what "eyebrow" turned up:

   Thanks... That is exactly it.  Issue #65  March '91...I knew I had seen it somewhere.  I did not know the mag. index could be searched online.  That is going to be a big help.  I will have to decide which method to use.  He shows a rafter method and a arched rib method.  Very interesting...Thanks
