The only piece that has to be cut down to a smaller width is the left side

side of the roof will overlap it. We need to take ¾” off the width of the
left roof piece. This will give us a finished width of 4 ¾”. A good way to
mark this off is with the combination square. Set the length at 4 ¾” and
with the square riding along the edge of the piece and a pencil marking
the line on the end of the ruler, slide
the combination square and the pencil
together down the length of the left
roof piece, (See picture above). You
now have marked a line to show
where you need to saw. Clamp the
cross cutting box to your work surface
and cut all the parts to length.
