This is a hip jack, I had to bevel my saw to 45 degrees for the ridge cut. The offset is 1 1/16" the birds mouth is set by the maximum allowed to be cut out of a 2x6.
The notch had to be cut to fit a 2x6 rough cut pine board for the back of the timber frame. It was first marked out then cut with a skill saw. Then we used the right angle drill to get the rest out of it.
This is with the hip/ valley installed as well as all the hip jack rafters. The valley jack rafters were harder to do because of the cheek cuts.
