Find your Angle 

Delta Sly my brother installs tile flooring he was working at a house and the walls were shifted towards the left. This house has a few fuck ups so my brother was being blamed by the home owner that his tile was crooked and was installed wrong it wasn’t. It was the wall and he told the home owner that he wasn’t having it. So they contacted the builder and he believed my brother and sides with him the homeowner was not convinced so the builder brought a laser scanning machine to check if the tile was crooked. Mind you the lasers weren’t necessary it was so obvious that the tile was straight and that the wall was shifted to the left. This man was living in denial, he bought shit tile and his walls were shifted. I don’t remember the price but it was definitely under 3 dollars per square foot maybe even 1 dollar normally the tile ranges from 3 to 10 per square foot. So it kept chipping and cracking very easily and my brother had to replace it constantly. So now he has a 300k+ home that has a few flaws.

@@Itsthatdudej he may have been able to avoid that interaction by installing it "correctly" by squaring off the floor on the fuckered up wall to the other wall first. Customer may have never even noticed since the dipfuck didn't know his walls aren't square. They almost never are. I see new houses all the time. Probably 2-3 a month I'm working in. They try to make it square but it always ends up not.

Lmao

There is NO such thing as a perfectly square room or wall and never will BE ..... This idea is clever and very helpful.

Because the video is labelled differently than "a long but different way"

Life….101. More important than half the usual classes…

Unfortunately the instructor did not think we where smart enough to learn or they didn't know either.

100 we had it at my school but they never let me take it... 😢

Yeah that music is super annoying.

Hell yes! Keep it simple stupid

Dang straight! Also the handymans friend, lots of caulk!

I remember being taught this back in 1960 when my dad smacked me off the porch for building something so damn crooked

You’re right lol

Yeah

Damnn that’s accurate

Wow now I see it the second time yes lol

Can't found it, I need my anglefinder finder

Or make the thing Square

@@yobryan88 dam i lost my anglefinder finder, gonna have to use my anglefinder finder finder

😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣@@shawclip43

@@shawclip43 It’s obvious you guys don’t have the app yet. 😎

Guess? Looks like 1/8-3/16 “ why?

The square is 90 degrees. Since there is wiggle room between the square and the two walls that create the corner, that means that the angle of the two walls is greater than 90 degrees. That’s more than what the square can measure. This matters because when cutting the boards to be installed at 45 degree angles, when installed, there will be a gap in-between them whey they are both against their respective walls. That’s no good. What is demonstrated in the video is finding that larger angle. The actual degree doesn’t matter because he’s measuring the cut line against the actual angle being read. With the two reference boards he draws a guide line on both where they meet to the corner of each board that is in the corner of the wall. The distance from the “board corner” to the “wall corner” is greater that a perfect 45 degree angle because the “board corner” is physically farther away then where the 45 degree “board corner” would be. So, when he makes the cuts on those new reference lines and puts them together in the corner, everything is flush and it looks like the wall has a perfect corner. Walls are rarely straight and corners are rarely perfectly 90 degrees. This video shows how a finish carpenter would work around an imperfect wall/corner. This method would also work for outside corners as well. Of course, a simpler way to find an angle would be to just use an inexpensive angle finder found at any construction store. Find your angle, say 86 degrees, and divide it by 2 which is 43. You’d then just cut a 43 degree angle on each board to create your corner. This video is essentially the same thing except he just made his own “angle finder” using two pieces of wood. I apologize if I confused you any farther.

I've seen you everywhere Mr hairy V 😂😂

Ive seen like a 1000 hammers and only one or two sliding bevels....

@@ryantracey8574 well now you know to buy one.

@@ryantracey8574 Working on low-end jobs, Eh? ; )

Clearly the person who posted the video isn't a carpenter though, because it take them 5x as long to do things as anyone else

@@brewcityboatclub8299 Good point.

Uh no

@@jasondevereaux3369 Is 90°÷2 not 45°? If it's out of square and 88° would it not be 44°? One of us is confused about what it means to bisect an angle.

@@ollieone051 in theory sure. Doesn't always work out that way. More true when dealing with 22.5. Even measuring correctly off of square lines...22s are usually just fucked up. Depends on how much you give a shit. Kitchens and baths should always be square. Fudge it in the big rooms without cabinets and countertops

@@ollieone051 inside corners especially 90s always seem fucked because of drywall mud

@@ollieone051 example we saw was an open wall or angle over 90 right. You have to get short points to line up. (Most important) so you cant just divide...you have to intersect short points and scribe. Angles wont be same. One will be steeper and one more shallow

😂

You do know wall move don’t you? You must be super rookie Micky Mouse with that assumption.

@@mavenfeliciano1710 Oh so you’re the one who did the Mickey Mouse job on that house

Manual angle finder, $10 home depot, always accurate, no batteries required.

@@spiceyfrenchtoast9421 it's also manual lol

@@Doctrtony not that it matters but I had an idea that it would be cool to be prepared to use all my tools to build a shelter etc with only hand tools I’ve collected. I’ve found it’s more about what you can do with a tool and how fast and how many times then it is about where it came from or how much it costs

@CantOutRunADuck Think about it. If they cut those corner boards more than 45 and don't adjust on the other end of each board but still cut them on 90s, then the next board cut on 90s they lay up to them ... there will be an angle gap exactly the same angle that was off in the corner.

He's not installing the boards, he's using scrap to find the angle on a mitre saw for trim purposes. The entire thing is a mock up meant to share a trick for finding an angle (not a real wall, not how to install anything, just a display).

I almost can’t read this for the amount of grammatical errors - get your point though

But then you would need to draw those lines again on the piece, or you would need to use an angle finder TWICE to transfer the angles. How would that be faster?

@@mavenfeliciano1710i hope this explains it a bit more spesific . you would draw a line on front of block on floor. Right block or left block then with same block if bouth are same depth do same thing on opposite wall U dont even need a angle finder. its basic geometry. Corner of wall meets were lines cross n thats your angle.then u mark your blocks.hope this makes sense.

With a big gap

Perfectly fine I’m sure...kinda the point

Well this do seems understandable ,but what are we gonna do with this anyway?

Some houses have angled walls. That's what it's for.

I’ve been a finish carpenter for 25 years Corners are almost never 90 91 89 I’ve even seen 86 90 is rare. Although, if you’re union, you probably have 25 guys on the job. 20 standing around and 5 working on the corner. So yea, you probably get 90 corners ( takes you 7 weeks and costs $300,00) But 90.

@@itaintrocketscience lol yeah new houses even don't seem to have square walls. It's your job as a carpenter to make it look square when it's done. But yeah doing tin work I haven't seen many houses where the boards are square and straight. Some guys just don't care when they get their house packs and grab the nearest board.

Yeah man idk about that. 90 degrees exactly don't seem to ever happen. If it does it don't happen where it would help the most.

Ik how you feel because the company that build my parents house has fucked up many times and I'm still finding more fucked up problems

What's it called?

Angle checker

@@kaganatorplays9205 Gracias.

I bet you he does it faster than you using an angle finder.

Ask your framer or sheetrocker

LOL!

Y si el ángulo es menor a 90 grados? Como coloco las tablas, piso o duela?

What do you mean? Seems simple to me

Qn actual Carpenter doesn't need this trick

@@kaganatorplays9205 an actual carpenter doesn’t *need* this trick but sure does come in handy.

pythagoras, you should have learned that in like 8th grade

Ya, same question? I suppose now you have the exact angle, but what does that do for your problem. I'd just fill the gap.

Sure just tear the house down and rebuild it and make sure all the walls r 90 👍

It isn't the same for everyone
