Eagle Square Manufacturing Co., (South Shaftsbury, Vt.),the Octagon Framing Square that real roofers used !
Eagle Framing Square -- invented in 1814
  
HAWES PAT
Silas Hawes made squares in Shaftsbury, VT, 1814 - 1828, but that several other local makers also marked their squares "HAWES PAT". These were predecessors to the famous Eagle Square Co. organized in 1859. A fine example of a used hand forged, hand stamped square of the early days of the republic.

Roof Framing Geometry

  • Roof framing geometry is empirical-type knowledge.
  • Information gained by means of observation, experience, or experiment.
  • From ground Line 0: Z1, Z2, Z3 etc...
  • To Roof Axis 0: A1, A2, A3 etc...
  • To the bring back line 0 for scribing: B1, B2, B3 etc...
