OK I am working of the roof now. Been having rain on and off recently and one incredible downpour. Really puts a crimp in working outdoors.
The material I have is not long enough to make one single purlin and the first attempt I made to extend it was kinda clumsly, so instead I decided to use my pantorouter, once set up it's quite fast to make a box joint, with polyurethane glue that should be stronger than the wood. One thing to keep in mind is try and get the joints at different places.
