I am reasonably conversant with the concept of using offset holes to drawbore when making m&t joints-except that is when doing an open m&t on a rafter couple peak, I am not sure in which direction to offset; at what angle or direction from the shoulders? confused confused
Also how would you peg a simple half lap rafter couple peak together? Doesnt seem possible to offset, do you just squeeze them up with a strap come a long and "pin" them with a wooden peg?

Could anyone give me some advice on this please?
Many thanks, Jonathan smile
