Lookouts are not required for a sloped box cornice. The soffit is nailed directly to the underside of the rafters. Note the soffit angle when compared to the flat box cornice shown in Figure 55-3.

When nailing shingles or shakes, drive the nails until heads rest on the surface. If nails are driven into the surface, they will have less holding power. Use only two nails to a shake, placed 3/4″ from each edge and 1 1/2″ above the exposure line. Hot‑dipped, zinc‑coated nails are recommended when applying wood shingles. Aluminum and stainless steel nails are also acceptable.
