I had to take a moment to let you know this is the most informative short I've seen in at least a month. You took time to explain geometry in a way that most could understand.
@Temple Builders Carpentry aye no doubt bro. I'm a shop teacher, I teach 12th grade Carpentry in NYC, and I'll tell you how much basic math has been lost within our youth. I have to spend time revisiting topics like converting fractions, decimals, and percentages, angles, reading a ruler and basic geometry. You are helping a ton of people by doing this man so thank you!
So with the speed square you mark both woods at 16 degrees and can cut it with a hand saw or is the 16 degree for mitre saw? Im just doing diy at home and have a similar angle..just learning at beginner level. Thanks
Keep putting out content we've been looking for you. Someone who can explain and straight to the point. Others explain a 5-minute video and still don't explain anything.
Also, if you go the other direction with the speed square, which would give you 58*, you can just add to 90* instead of subtract from 180* which is usually easier to do in the head
so you're saying if you start with the side without the perpendicular base and draw a line on the base and pivot counter clockwise ot would give you 58 with regards to this video and you'd add 90?
Great video bro. To the point. Speedy might be the most underrated tool in your pouch guys. There is a reason contractors have 16 of them in their truck. You can do exactly what he just did with two of them and no pencil line, over numerous applications.
I appreciate you sharing your experience with this channel and with future carpenters and tradesmen. I would like to show that double speed square trick you just explained if you don't mind. That was a great idea. Thanks for commenting.
Excellent 👌. Short and to the point. You captured the whole sea in a cup. I was looking for the answer of this question of calculating the angle for my garage DIY project since 2 days. Couldn't find the answer in any other video than this.
Dude you are awesome you should start making more videos on stuff like this I’ve have wondered for everything how to find an angle with speed square and this was a wonderful job on demonstrating it
So many you'll see working in trades don't know proper terminology, basic math, common sense etc. Thanks for setting a great example! Your knowledge and understanding of these concepts comes through in all the videos great job.
My pleasure! I agree the quality of craftsmanship has been on a decline for years.The trades need more people that take pride in their careers. Thanks for commenting.
I found this channel the other day and I have been watching since then. Great content and knowledge in all of the videos I have watched. I am learning tips and tricks! I subscribed. Thank you!
Idk, the flat base of your speed square should throw the measurements off unless when you rotate your square you keep it parallel the other side and away from it by the thickness of that base piece.
I see what you're saying. Usually when I confirm it with the angle finder it's within 1 degree or a half of a degree of accuracy. But like you said if you hold it from the wall the same thickness as the fence you should be good.Thanks for commenting.
