Pole Barn Day 2- Trusses

The weather was terrible today so we decided to build some trusses in the garage.  We built a jig out of 2 sheets of plywood and blocks so we could make all of the trusses the exact same.  Each 2x4 is cut then the joints are secured on both sides with plywood and finishing nails to hold it all together until the wood glue dries.  After a run to the store for more plywood and modifying our jig, we only got 2 trusses made.  Another fun day!  I learned a lot about truss building.
