How to choose the right size cupola. A good rule of thumb for selecting the right size cupola is to multiply 1.25 times every foot of unbroken roofline -- the key is the unbroken roofline measurement. When we say unbroken roof line what we mean is that there are no major objects (like a chimney) or hips or dips in the ridge line of the roof.
To cut the pieces that will form the sill of the cupola, bolt a 1x6 to the saw's fence (to keep the workpiece from tilting), set the blade at 19 degrees and position the fence 3/4 in. from the blade. To bevel the soffit parts, set the blade at 45 degrees and the fence 4-1/4 in. from the blade.
