    Default WOODWORKING QUIZ for 19 July 04

    Good Evening Friends,
    With todays modern trusses there is something that is seldom used anymore, not counting the ridge board.

    What is it?

    Ridge Strut
    Some People are like slinky's,
    They serve no purpose at all,
    but they put a smile on your face when you throw them down the stairs.

    Default WOODWORKING QUIZ ANSWER for 19 July 04

    Good Evening Friends,
    You all gave some good and humorous answers, however the one I was looking for is the return to the house. Remember when trusses first came out they would all have a return on them, but now you can only get them with special ordering.

    With the return you did not have to install lookouts for the soffet and vents.

    Thank you for your support.

    Respectfully,
    Ralph Jones Woodworking
