This is exactly what I needed. Just had this problem a week ago and couldn't figure out what to do. I liked and subscribed earlier after watching one of your videos. Then went to your Video list and found this. Thank you.
Yeah. The math is divide one width by the other and do some trigonometry like figuring out inverse tan of the division result ( don't remember my high school trig, but something like that).
now that's what i call a real useful video............short , to the point, no useless jibber jabber,,,,,,,,,,,,,,something you can use in the real world.....thanks.........
Brother, another awesome video for sure. When I commented on the last video I told you I had the very same saw and it is a great saw. Couple of years ago I got the light that shadows the cut for cutting trim. This thing would work wonders for making stuff like this so much easier. Just giving you a heads up it has worked wonders for me. Great video can’t wait for the next one.
Thanks! I have two pieces of trim that are not the same size and will need to miter cut. I was going to use the raw ends but then I saw how ugly the ends of the boards were. Even paint can't fix it so miter will be better. One will be about 1-1/2" and the other will be 5-1/5 so I will have to get creative with getting that angle for the smaller board. Might have to pivot the board. It will be a bit tougher because the wall where I'm putting the trim is not square.
I have a brain teaser carpentry question. I have a half-height wall that comes down my stairs. I want to trim out the top of it with a board (just like a top stile board on board and batten). So the front of the half height wall is a straight piece of the board, just sitting horizontal at the top of the wall. Is it even possible to turn that on a 90 degree outside corner to go up the stairs which also requires a 45degree upward slope? Is there any way to even do that? I know if it’s a flat stock piece there’s probably a way to do that, but the problem just got me wondering how you would do it with a decorative piece. I suppose it would be the same issue of putting crown molding up in a room with a vaulted ceiling, where the trim has to turn a corner on to a new wall while simultaneously sloping up because that wall has a vaulted ceiling angle. How do carpenters deal with those situations?
oh I would have figured it out but there would be a bunch of wrong pieces of wood under the saw and the neighbors would have complained about language. Good job thank you.
@@andrewschannel3635 Go to the local hardware center and pick up a sliding bevel gauge. They’re usually made with a wood “handle”, but some are plastic or aluminum, and the sliding blade is made of steel. Draw out the angle like he did, put the bevel handle on one edge of the board and adjust the blade to match the angle. Then go to your miter saw and place the bevel handle against the fence and rotate the saw until the bevel blade is touching the saw blade over its entire length, being sure it’s not touching a tooth. Lock the swivel and you’re ready to miter!
He has a point though… The original 45 degree cut line on the 2 5/8” piece is not marked the same as the final cut line (along with the piece not sitting firmly along the fence) so what adjustments did you make off camera to make the angles fit?
What do you do when you have one miter at 40 and the other at 50. The 50 has a longer angle and now the two boards aren't even. Picture the letter Z. How do you join them evenly ? Thanks
I have been making spice racks with pallet wood. THIS video is exactly what I needed help with. Thank you! Your videos are always great for newbie woodworkers like me.
Great tip man! I'll definitely be using this as it seems all my projects now have turned into "Use what you got" for supplies! I also really liked how you removed the audio for the loud saw, very considerate of your viewers.
I'll have two trims on my windows now. One that looks horrible with two 45 miters, and the others that look correct after I've watched this video! haha (at some point I'll rip out and correct the others, but they aren't in super visable places so they do the job for now)
Have to say I watch a lot of RU-vid videos on carpentry but I have probably learned more from you than all the others. Quick and easy and straight to the point
Thanks for the tip! Little late now cause I had a door frame too close to wall, and just rip the whole side off the miter trim I made lol it doesn’t look pro but lesson learned. Next time I’ll use a smaller trim on that side and do this. Love it.
