Dividing angles - the parallel board method - Woodworking Tips!

- A little while ago we looked at the first and most important method used in joinery to divide angles, using a pair of compasses. Today we're looking at method #2 for angle bisection - the parallel board method. There'll be a couple more methods coming up in tips videos so don't forget to subscribe! This method is handly for bisecting angles in all sorts of situations - if requires having a board or plank of wood to hand with perfectly parallel sides, such as a piece of skirting board / baseboard.

Excellent, thanks for this great tip.
Nice tip!
I just use the trend angle rule 💪
Could you use the angle finder in the corner of the joint say its says 98° for example... could you do
180° - 98° = 82°
82° ÷ 2 = 41° and set that on chop saw without needing to draw?
Kiss (keep it simple stupid) thanks for sharing and keep up the great work
They put a small radiator in that bay to cope with the gas price increases lol
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, always struggled figuring out angles. Top tip,cheers 👍👍
Thing that never seems to be discussed is why you actually have to bisect the angle in order for it to work..... As I have just found out doing a bay window sill
How would you fit picture rail of angle of join is not equal. Thanks fellow geordie
Nice one Andy 👍👍👍 People may finally realise that by going back to basic, you don't have to spend a fortune on fancy tools and digital gauges to find an angle 😉
Exactly! 👍😀
I got a digital angle gauge in lidl for €10 and it works great.
Jonnakins 1 - They do work great 👍 Andy knows what I mean 😉
I have a digital angle gauge too. But learning these tricks is necessary, and cool. Btw. It's a General Tools digital angle gauge, with Bluetooth. Ha
This is way simple and clever... This is from now on my go to method .
Equally easy to understand as it is helpful. CHEERS
I prefer to just eyeball it and hope it fits
Many things are so easy when you know how to do it.
Great tip. Thanks for sharing. In case 'd need this kind of dividing more often, I think I'd prepare a dedicated piece of wood (MDF, tile, glass) for this purpose and mark it somehow as an extra tool.
After 4:03 I expected you to flip over the bevel to show us the double check that indeed those angles are really exactly the same.
But then I realized this is not possible because of the screw you tighten the angle with.
I suppose it can be checked moving the shorter leg of the bevel towards the newly drawn line (just on the other side of that
line where the longer leg of the bevel is now.
👍
???
I thing you can use any straight edge
Thanks for sharing that super useful and handy tip. I've screenshoted it so I've always got it handy :-)
TY YOUR THE BEAST
Simple and effective. Thanks Andy.
Ive used this technique for years. Their is something parallel in your hand. You used it to find the angle
Neat and easy, once you know how 👍
Cheers mate 👍
I like your system alot! Bosch make a really nice angle finder that might be a better layout tool instead of bevel square? But then again i use the bosch for metal rail layout and not wood. Good video
Excellent. Thanks for the time doing this. Useful. As I have been doing some brick paving lately.
Hi good morning, how do I calculate an obtuse angel for skirting board
Hi mate,
Doing the exact same thing here with a bay window, was trying to wrap my head around how I'm supposed to cut my pieces of wood, so this helps a lot.
One thing I want to ask is how do you fill those seam lines on those MDF boards when they're glued together and painted? Do you take wood filler on them or caulk it to prevent expansion cracking it?
I just put the end of my set square at the point of the angle and draw a line at 90 degrees, I do the same from the other side and it bisects the angle, everybody has a set square or speed square with them.
Good old intertubes! I have a bay window, a bevel gauge and a baseboards, now all I gotta do is cut 'em.
Didn't think u could get any easier then the starrett protractor but this is so simples! Once marked I'd have peeled the sticky tape off the floor and stuck it on the piece of wood to cut!!
Great tip. Always knew the compass way, never thought of the board tip!
Andy the bay window M D F window board. Did you oil that?. It looks great!.
Finally the video I've been looking for thanks
How about coping? Where you cut an obtuse angle then use a coping saw to cut a long the line at the tip of the angle.
Don’t understand ,why yoyu don’t cut molding
Great tip!
Applied high school geometry. I love it!
Very helpful, thanks for posting.
Amazing video mate. Thankyou
HI Andy. just stumbleded upon this. Even easier way ,means you don't have to draw it out on paper. Get a piece of scrap with a square edge, smaller than the length you will need. Butt it against the wall (as you would with skirting, stood up) where the join is and push as far as the wall will allow (towards the join). Pencil line the floor where the skirt sits, in front. Same on the other side. Where the two lines cross,(your angle) mark from here back to the place where the wall join is. Use a bevel and set the angle. Use scrap to try. Any gap at the front, lessen the angle slightly, any at the back, make it more of an angle. The angle should be the same on both sides, but in reverse. Done. Hope that makes sense. How a carpenter does it..
Cheers
these are excellent and never age.
you make life much easier.you are great.
Great hint, worked a treat when I was foing my decking, thank you
Nice gonna try this.
Awesome, cheers mate.
Best video I've found so far
Great tip for skirting board on a none 90 corners too cheers Andy.
P.S. you forgot to mention the podcast starting next week, glad I’m subscribed to both you and Peter.😁👍
It's a secret until today! 😂
Thanks for sharing.
Andy you have just Bisected an angle what's the betting Peter does 10 minutes on this on Tuesday. LOL all the hairy chest
😂😂
Nice tip Andy.
BTW you might want to checkout Mirock's new video. His dowel jig is just the dogs dodahs.
Cheers dude - will check it out! 👍
Great tip our kid !!!
Great tip! Thanks
Useful and simple. Brilliant.
What a great tip - thanks Andy
Great little tip Andy. And congrats on hitting the big 2-0!
Thank you Eddy! 👍
Do you have a trick to keep all this new knowledge stuck in my head? Anymore helpful and you’d be doing the work for me 👍.
Ha - thank you! 👍
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Great tip, Thanks Andy,👍🙂
👍😀
Hi m8
What make is that sliding bevel ?
Really like the lock on it
Thanks
Think it's a Stanley mate. Stanley definitely make one with that type of lock anyway
Yup - very old Stanley! 👍
What’s with the comedy radiator?
😂😂 Obviously VERY efficient!
Andy. This sliding bevel has an bolt hat you can turn a bit an then locking arm/nut will get out of the way.
Certainly does - great little bevel. 👍
Loved that one ..... loved it!
