This is from a church I did yesterday. Not sure when it was built. This is the first time I have seen trusses like this. The span was probably 45’ - 50’ wide.

always had a cloud of dust surrounding him
people pay huge $s for the modern metal plate versions
that might be a cool house to consider ceiling removal
we’ve done a few with similar “attic features”

Thanks Barry, I will send this to Ian. It loaded fine for me, but I use Brave.
Using Safari, I got the same as Bear:

Looks impressive, but placing all the bolts in a line makes a weak connection. They should have been staggered.

That’s bad ass
Morning, David.
Hope this post finds you well.
Plywood truss gussets. Not uncommon in my neck of the woods. Inspected commercial and residential properties going back to the mid 1850’s and earlier.
There is an article in Mastering Roof Inspections by Kenton Shepard and Nick Gromicko. Mastering Roof Inspections: Roof Framing, Part 3
What year was the building erected?
PS: Thanks for sharing.
Robert.
Robert, I am not sure. I am guessing late 40’s or early 50’s.

Cool trusses I would trust that design over the cheap plating designs of today any day of the week.
