I have watched many tutorials on cutting with mitre saw. A five Star for your video presentation, as anyone can understand very clearly how to do this job with accuracy. Well done in educating and parting others with good tips.
@@HeartwoodArt Referencing your excellent video again, thanks for posting it And for being a special person that you are to take the time. Big hug for you.🤗
Very lovely to see a lady carpenter . Im a Carpenter of nearly 30 years and I had to come to class real quick to find out how to make a sleeper bed in this shape and find my angel I need to cut my sleepers Thank you for your video young lady. Subbed 👊🏿
@@HeartwoodArt I don’t see many at all I’m a new build site carpenter , joiner and handy man on the side that dabbles in everything diy . On new build there are no lady carpenters only staff at the office . I think they are to intimidated or just not interested in the big stuff you need alot of muscle and guts to do roofs joists and load out tons of timber a week . When I see one I’ll marry her 😆
@@Bart-Did-it most of the women carpenters I know own their own business and do the higher $$$ work like custom cabinets and furniture and such. So, I don’t think it’s a matter of intimidation or just guts and muscle. It may be about working where it’s out of the weather and pays better. Or they do full renovations. You may want to check out Habitat for Humanity. That’s the only place I see them on new builds much either. Here in TN there are a lot of women carpenters on those sites. Several hold multiple licenses for carpentry, electrical, etc.
@@HeartwoodArt ah I see great stuff New build site work is the highest paid carpentry there is the U.K. atm earnings Index said last week the growth is through the roof can earn £3500-4K in 7 days if you want to work full time with no days off . I’m to old for that I stick to 5 days a week .. weekends is for the young as I was once . It’s great that ladies are doing carpentry I find it uplifting . They have there own niche in the trade in the world of today .
Wow. What a great video. Very clear and well-presented. It helped me a lot, mostly because I suddenly realized I was cutting the wrong angles. Oh, and as a Brit, may I say that I love your accent!
The formula for figuring out what angle you need is: 360÷ # of pcs; divide that answer by 2; that is the angle needed. This delightful teacher had a 6 pc hexagon, so...360÷6=60÷2=30...ta-daa...lol...another example: 360÷12 pcs=30÷2=15...there's the necessary angle.
@@gailjohnson3544 Simply measure the length you want. Notice that a board that is angled has a long edge and a shorter edge. The long edge should be the length you need.
I put glue on the edges and then tape them on the outside. Then I use a framing strap to clamp them together until the glue dries. Some folks use brad nails too
Hi Ms. Bees, if we want to cut the cheese as well as cut the corners of the cheese into cucumber slices, how do we measure and cut the cheese, how to make a beautiful tape, and when assembling the cheese is in accordance with the rules?
I put 6 of the hexagon shelves together today and not one of them is a perfect hexagon😖they are all wonky. Do you have any idea what is going wrong? I used the 30 degree angle on my mitre saw. I can’t figure out how people get such perfect seams too that fit right together. A lot of my deans have tiny gaps in them. So frustrating!
Sounds like your saw blade may not be square to your back fence, or whatever you are using to measure the angle may be off just a wee bit. It doesn’t take being off by much on either for the seams to not match
@@HeartwoodArt I saw the video, mine didn't come out right, I guess maybe my saw is off . Idk. Gonna get a digital angel finder. Cus when its at 90, I put a square on it and it looks true. Thanks for the response
The measurements on your bevel ate correct. The 30 is a 30° cut. But you first must make sure your blade and your fence are square to each other. You've probably figured this out by now. But if anyone else is wondering....
Hi found your channel nice work I'm wondering I wish to build a 2v geodesic dome for my wife and I'm wondering could you help me figure out the angles I need I have bought plans and books but I don't understand the math I have ever contacted the maker of the plans with no response I wondering if you could help me with it I like your work thanks for sharing

A lovely, smart lady who knows her stuff. Thanks for posting. I found this video. Very helpful.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You look so damn cute and you were overalls @HeartwoodArt

Nice video, thank you for keeping it simple. Most of these videos are done with expensive specialty tools most of us DIY'rs won't have.
Yeah, I consider a miter saw as I must-have for what I build. Makes these shelves so easy to do
this was the best and most simple to follow tutorial ive seen and ive seen them all !!! well done

There are lots of women in woodworking these days. Always something to learn

So glad you’ve got the right angles now. They sure are fun to make
- Thanks a multimillion for the angle cut education. It's good to have knowledge about why you're doing something. Thanx 4 sharing.
You’re welcome!
Great video exactly what I was looking for thanks so much!!
Super helpful thankyou!
Great explanation !
Loved the results - thanks !
They’re really fun to make!

Super info! Do you have a TH-cam channel?
@@mrprecious1234 hey bill...no channel...I'm not a real tech-head..
.good thing my children are...
How do I get the length I need

@@lonesomelou4188 does 30 degree edge cut works on any length as long as 6 pcs?
Thank you
Good video explaining the cuts, thanks for the tips. My question is how you join the boards together?
I put glue on the edges and then tape them on the outside. Then I use a framing strap to clamp them together until the glue dries. Some folks use brad nails too
That 's great... another use for my framing strap. Thanks@@HeartwoodArt
Thank you!! This helped me a bunch!! 😊
Muchas gracias, qué buen video, saludos desde Colombia.

thank you very much...
I tried making these today, I did the bevel method. Mine didn't match up, do I set the bevel indicator on the 30 mark or the 60?
The saw is set at the 90 degree mark and then tilted to a 30 degree angle for the bevel. How to measure for it is in the video

Hello , I have an angle when measured with the digital angle finder of 224 how would I cut that ? I’m doing a bay window
224-180=44
@@HeartwoodArt thanks you so I just do that for all angles ? This is my first attempt and I pray I get many more projects
If you want the shape shown in the video, then you have to use the angles I show. If you use other angles, you would come up with an irregular shape.
@@HeartwoodArt thank you
