It sounds to me like he is building a big shelf inward from an exterior wall to become a mezzanine/storage area. There is no way to cantilever floor joist with that arrangement. I would instead, drop chains from each rafter and attach to each joist, and also attach the knee braces to each joist from the wall studs.The knee braces can be installed from joist up to wall, or down from joist to wall, or both. Joist up construction will make laying the floor a bit harder, but you would not sacrifice clearance over your work bench.I would be reluctant to make it over 4' wide because you are depending on existing structure, (wall and rafters) to support all the extra load that you are planning, and it is just human nature to stuff lots of stuff up there. This extra load will also want to tip the wall towards the center of the building if you don't use support poles, so the overall bracing between side walls and roof trusses need to be considered also. I believe that this covers the "load dynamics". It is up to you to use suitable materials and fasteners to make the project functional. -------------------Loren
