Dividing angles - the parallel board method - Woodworking Tips!

[@wayward_dom6865]

Easy peasy lemon squeezy, always struggled figuring out angles. Top tip,cheers 👍👍

[@edwardhugus2772]

Great tip. Always knew the compass way, never thought of the board tip!

[@NickDV007]

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 😉

[@GosforthHandyman]

Exactly! 👍😀

[@jonnakins]

I got a digital angle gauge in lidl for €10 and it works great.

[@NickDV007]

Jonnakins 1 - They do work great 👍 Andy knows what I mean 😉

[@leonardorojas1781]

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

[@josehmaru]

This is way simple and clever... This is from now on my go to method .

[@josh5549]

Best video I've found so far

[@jasonchild482]

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

Finally the video I've been looking for thanks

[@gp94403]

Applied high school geometry. I love it!

[@Cloppa2000]

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!!

[@hansdegroot8549]

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.

[@markrowland5393]

Simple and effective. Thanks Andy.

[@EddyCarroll]

Great little tip Andy. And congrats on hitting the big 2-0!

[@GosforthHandyman]

Thank you Eddy! 👍

[@ron1martens]

Excellent. Thanks for the time doing this. Useful. As I have been doing some brick paving lately.

[@kierenhudson6331]

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?

[@munkytaint666]

Equally easy to understand as it is helpful. CHEERS

[@horsetowater]

these are excellent and never age.

[@brianpatrick8441]

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

[@WoodworkingBrewer]

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.😁👍

[@GosforthHandyman]

It's a secret until today! 😂

[@samsama8254]

you make life much easier.you are great.

[@Tazzy4182]

Great hint, worked a treat when I was foing my decking, thank you

[@mariah4451]

Thanks for sharing that super useful and handy tip. I've screenshoted it so I've always got it handy :-)

[@sherianbhemal2052]

Hi good morning, how do I calculate an obtuse angel for skirting board

[@pianobar7801]

Very helpful, thanks for posting.

[@orbepa]

What a great tip - thanks Andy

[@frank1847]

Andy the bay window M D F window board. Did you oil that?. It looks great!.

[@nickridiculous]

Good old intertubes! I have a bay window, a bevel gauge and a baseboards, now all I gotta do is cut 'em.

[@rays9338]

How would you fit picture rail of angle of join is not equal. Thanks fellow geordie

[@RobbyPickering]

Amazing video mate. Thankyou

[@jc3444]

Excellent, thanks for this great tip.

[@ianscottuk]

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

[@Tephnos]

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?

[@TheDoosh79]

Awesome, cheers mate.

[@MrSbenn69]

Great tip, Thanks Andy,👍🙂

[@GosforthHandyman]

👍😀

[@MatthewWrighty]

Nice gonna try this.

[@davegower123]

Nice tip!

[@charlesarnold4963]

Useful and simple. Brilliant.

[@zx6mick]

Thanks for sharing.

[@iamjimgroth]

Great tip!

[@springboard9642]

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.

[@superiorbeing95]

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.

[@mroldschool609]

Hi m8 What make is that sliding bevel ? Really like the lock on it Thanks

[@paulmcfadyen689]

Think it's a Stanley mate. Stanley definitely make one with that type of lock anyway

[@GosforthHandyman]

Yup - very old Stanley! 👍

[@SMee67]

Neat and easy, once you know how 👍 Cheers mate 👍

[@busobq]

Andy. This sliding bevel has an bolt hat you can turn a bit an then locking arm/nut will get out of the way.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Certainly does - great little bevel. 👍

[@soniacoronado6834]

TY YOUR THE BEAST

[@SěmtêxČØŴv2.0]

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 👍.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Ha - thank you! 👍

[@leonardorojas1781]

Practice. Practice. Practice.

[@Cradley684]

Great tip our kid !!!

[@clintbartenstein6876]

Great tip! Thanks

[@kookyflukes9749]

Nice tip Andy. BTW you might want to checkout Mirock's new video. His dowel jig is just the dogs dodahs.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Cheers dude - will check it out! 👍

[@animationcreations42]

I prefer to just eyeball it and hope it fits

[@MT_T991]

Ive used this technique for years. Their is something parallel in your hand. You used it to find the angle

[@paulmcgeoch2603]

I just use the trend angle rule 💪

[@wufflesthespider]

What’s with the comedy radiator?

[@GosforthHandyman]

😂😂 Obviously VERY efficient!

[@howardbecdove9780]

Loved that one ..... loved it!

[@altoncool8079]

I thing you can use any straight edge

[@sydney-1004]

Don’t understand ,why yoyu don’t cut molding

[@FreddysHamster]

They put a small radiator in that bay to cope with the gas price increases lol

[@carlosgarzia3177]

???

[@Cameron2874]

Kiss (keep it simple stupid) thanks for sharing and keep up the great work

[@ivanfinlay7758]

Andy you have just Bisected an angle what's the betting Peter does 10 minutes on this on Tuesday. LOL all the hairy chest

[@GosforthHandyman]

😂😂
