Definition: A supporting post attached to the main rafter.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition you read is almost right, it’s true, But “supporting post attached to the main rafter” isn't quite what we pursue. A pendant, my dears, is something quite refined, A decorative charm, beautifully designed! Think of a necklace, lovely and bright, With a hanging piece, a shining light. That’s essentially what a pendant does in building lore, It's a projecting beam – we can't ignore! It hangs down from the roof, a graceful display, Supporting the ceiling, come what may. So remember this lesson, don't you see? A pendant isn’t just wood, for carpentry! Does that make it clearer for you today? Do you have any questions?
