    I use the math of 90° while figuring rafters and stair stringers. Good video 👍🏼

  • @Escviitash
    @Escviitash 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    A much easier way, a you only have to mark the miter on the wide board:
    Mark and cut the wide board and place it against the fence like you did with the board cut at 45°. Set the saw to 90° and press the narrow board against the cut on the wide board, and slide it so the blade meets the corner and make the second cut.
    Two benefits:
    Firstly you don't have to line up the wide/guide board exactly with the blade, and secondly you are guaranteed that the two angles add up to exactly 90°.

      Dude not so tricky, that's basic and showing an incorrect angle to start and any carpenter or person with basic math knows this is easy. All that layout is unnecessary, the first angle scribed on both pieces is cut. Not instructional to muddy a simple cut/layout which is reflected in the lack of replies.

    I liked that you got round to the math there, it was what I was thinking early on. also your solution to stabilizing the work piece was interesting, using most actual double faced tape would be a lot of work to clean off after.

    • @Ashton1andonly

  • @mikep3813
    @mikep3813 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Trig. Take the width of the wider board and divide by the width of the narrower multiply by inverse tangent. 4" ÷ 2" × tan -¹ = 63.4°. I know some people are scared by math, but it's on every smart phone and very simple and doesn't rely on layout lines being drawn and measured correctly.

    • @Ashton1andonly
      @Ashton1andonly  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree! It's easy for lots of people to get put off by math... but when you have the right formula and plug in the numbers, it's easy to get the answer you're searching for (especially when mostly everyone is likely carrying a cell phone in their
      pocket) I wish I would have thought of including this in the video as well... next time!

    • @mikep3813
      @mikep3813 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Ashton1andonly The tip for adding the auxiliary fence at 45° to be able to achieve the angles under 45° that the miter saw can't accomplish on its own is appreciated, I will definitelyuse it at some point in the future. The tape trick is very valuable and I hope everyone would use it and not try the quick, more dangerous way of just holding it with no extra support. Pretty sketchy! Always ask yourself, "how many minutes of my time is one of my fingers worth to me?" 😆 It always convinces me to take the time to do it the proper way.

    • @Ashton1andonly
      @Ashton1andonly  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've definitely seen my fair share of "Sketchy Cuts" cuts over the years and had a few close calls myself... enough to make me take the time to figure out how to do it safely!

    @0:45 Marking it freehand the 2 sides may not be exactly at a right angle. I would line up the 2 pieces with a L-square and overlap the ends.

    • @Ashton1andonly
      @Ashton1andonly  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, that would certainly help to keep things square.

  • @michaelburns9569
    @michaelburns9569 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Does that tracing trick still work if the degree angle isn't 90? Like would it still work if the degree was 130 or 10?

    • @Ashton1andonly
      @Ashton1andonly  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Cool thing about it is that along as you could hold the boards at the exact angle you wanted them at, it will work. However, when you're overlapping the boards on the angle, you want the ends would have to be either 1st cut at an angle or run them past if it's already cut at 90 degrees... I wish I could post a picture on my comment because it would make more sense than me explaining it this way haha

  • @doc145
    @doc145 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    No need for a sacrificial fence. Take the first board you cut and use that as the fence. The exact angle will be cut on the 2nd piece.

  • @velcroman11
    @velcroman11 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Putting the cut line on the opposite side and cutting from the opposite side you don’t need all this mucking about about regardless of knowing or not knowing the actual angles. If you do 90 - 58 = 32 degrees. A. Angle that you can cut with the mitre table.

    • @Ashton1andonly
      @Ashton1andonly  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Fair enough... My thought is to give a few ways to solve a problem. So every way that gets the same result is fair game. Although where I think this comes in handy is when you have a situation with a live edge top like I do in the video and you needed miter two boards together that are too wide for the miter saw and don't have a straight edge for reference ( although in my video there is 1 straight edge ) this trick works great for that.

  • @jeremymaas8464
    @jeremymaas8464 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The safe way is to have two pieces cut at 45 degrees, one to the left as shown, one to the right both meeting exactly where blade kerf will be. . . .

    @tar170 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    20 strokes with a 12-ppi crosscut handsaw would do the trick. Power tools are nice, but sheesh, don't forget the beauty of a handsaw for four 58-degree cuts in thin material. Relying on sticky tape to keep the wood from sliding on the chop saw is crazy, to me.

    • @Ashton1andonly

As a high school vocational teacher this training was exceptionally useful. Nothing fancy, but just the basics on how to construct quality lessons. I am by no means an expert I just picked up a few things that made my teaching more powerful and effective.
