I love that you prove that it is the craftsman and not the tools that make the job. You know how to do stuff and don't need $2,000.00 miter saws or fancy clamps to get it done. Rock on...
Thanks so much! I too believe like you! Although sometimes the tool can be crap and make the job ALOT harder than it should be! LoL thanks for watching!
Needed to make 50, 55, and 60 degree isosceles triangle cuts. His explanation on how to accomplish such was simple, easy to follow, and made perfect sense. Thank you.
I am so grateful for your video my friend! I am doing crown molding so I got in a little pickle because I needed to do a 77.5 degree cut but I couldn’t cause my miter wouldn’t go that far. It stopped at 60 degrees. So then I did what you showed me and it worked. It was a hundred percent perfect fit. I wasn’t able to find any information on a crown molding cut but I watched this video and worked backwards, and I was able to figure it out. I am truly grateful that you put this video on UA-cam and I’m so lucky I was able to come across this video and figure it out. Crown molding is very tricky but I was able to figure it all out thanks to this tiny information you shared with us. Thank you, sir! I smashed the like button and subbed.
Bought this for my friend for his birthday, and he loves it. Father-in-law was a little jealous, even. :) Built solid, but light enough to move around for projects. Easy to use ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe and makes great precision cuts. Doesn't come with a laser mount, but the fence is straight as an arrow and if you measure carefully, it's not a problem. Can handle dimensional lumber with ease, but of course, there's a limit to how thick. Handled a 4x4" post without a problem, but 4x6" we had to flip and cut twice. Only thing we've noticed is make sure to tighten the nut that holds the saw blade when you take it out of the box and maybe check up on it occasionally. For some, this is probably a no-brainer, but we neglected to do this and a few months in, found the motor running but the blade spinning at about half speed or less. Tightened the nut, and problem was solved. Very happy with this purchase. Dewalt makes sturdy stuff.
Hey I know this video isn’t new but I just want to say THANK YOU for this because it explains very simply what I was trying to figure out with digital angle gauges and none of them explained it in detail the way you did. This helped immensely with my staircase wainscot project and for that I say thank you sir!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Samson Omar thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I worked in a hot metal shop on the farm for a long time. We then put up bat insulation on the ceiling with chicken wire stapled up to the ceiling joists to keep it from sagging. Then added batting to the walls with thin chip board on top. I painted the walls all white for brightness. This made a world of difference in the comfort both summer and winter. I added radiant heat for the winter but get by without AC in the summer. The batting also has a sound reducing quality. A well insulated ceiling is the most important.
I plan on doing some more insulation work in the shop this spring. Ever since I took down the ceiling insulation I can hear everything upstairs! The camera picks it up too! Need to fix that! LoL
This is perfect. I’m about to start a farmhouse concealment coffee table that requires 60° miters for x bracing. This video just made my life a lot easier.
Video was extremely helpful for me. Very Amateur Woodworker and was following some plans that required a 145 degree cut. I was baffled, needless to say I was able to make the cut!
Thank you! I am just a hobby carpenter that builds catios. I spent all day trying to figure out angles to cut a simple pediment for over a catio door. I even tried to cut it by hand. I did lots of sample cuts and a lot of re-do's.I almost gave up but thought I would check out youtube for a solution. Your video was super helpful! I remeasured three more 2 x 4's. The bottom one has two 60 degree angles. Here in Colorado I came under a time crunch at the end with a bad thunderstorm on its way. I got all three pieces cut perfect in about 15 minutes. Thankful for a new way to cut these angles!
Love this! I needed this video about 2 hours ago when I was sitting in front of my meiter saw ready to throw it cause I couldn't figure out how to get the angles you talked about! What a simple solution! I really should have been able to think of this but ah well, thx my friend!
THANK YOU! Thank you!!!!! Working on some “x” braces today and had some hairy moments and got really upset and frustrated and gave up just to wait and find a video to help me since none of my friends do this sort of work for me to ask them. Thank you so much for making it so much easier. Why couldn’t all these other videos explain it like this:( thank you!!!!!!
Thanks a lot, buddy. I was building a sawhorse and could not not do a 75 deg today. I am new to wood working and did not want to just hold the work piece and cut it. I did spend considerable time trying to figure out how to cut a75 deg angle and I did not get any idea. thanks a lot. I will try this tomorrow.
Your very welcome!!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Woodcraft!!! My biggest piece of advise is just be safe and always remember where your hands are!!! (Oh.... and have fun!!!)
I'm sitting here in my garage trying to figure out how to make a 60 dgree angle and thought try youtube. Great video, simple explaination and demonstration.
Fantastic! Be careful and watch your fingers! Using this method for stars seems scary! Feel free to send me a pic or join my discord to share your projects!
Hi Greg! Thanks so much for the comment and I’m glad it helped ya out!! So I did find a portable unit a neighbor was throwing out (there’s a video on that too) but no Mini Split as of yet!!! Someday! Thanks again!
You cut a 35 degree angle. Cut another one the same way and you get another 35 degree angle. Together they make a 70 degree angle, which is an acute angle, and that is what that jig is designed to do. You can cut a single(non-mitered) 70 degree angle simply by setting the miter saw at 20. No jig required.
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman I was going crazy trying to figure out how to make an obtuse cut with my miter saw. I still don't know how I came to the 70 degrees, but at least I can cut it now. Haha.
that was great vid, ty, question, i saw after the cut the face line was not straight across, how would i cut that straight, move the 2x4 to the other side?
Brilliant explanation thank you. I’m puzzled that your cut is 70 degrees but what about the vertical cut isn’t 90 degrees. Is your sawing down cut off at 90 degrees.
From my experience, holding a piece of wood with your weaker left hand at such an acute angle is asking for trouble. Just a slight movement of the piece and it could get snagged in the blade a kick back. I’ve done it myself. It’s a great idea but if I were doing it, I’d make sure I had some way of clamping the work piece solidly in place so it couldn’t move during the cut.
Definitely have to be aware of what’s going on anytime you’re using a saw for sure! Anytime a clamp is available…. I agree…. Use it! Thanks for watching!
So true. I really f'ed up my thumb from a kick back doing EXACTLY this about 12 years ago. Ever since, I was extremely careful about clamping stuff down and having a tall enough jig for my cut. It only takes once to lose all your fingers or thumb.

That's very cool!
Thanks!!!!
So helpful! Thank you for making this!
Thank you so much dear..
Glad it helped!!!
That is a slick trick and I don't need to invest $3000 or 2 days making a jig. Thank You!
Glad it helped!!! Thanks for Watching!
- Thanx 4 sharing this valuable info on angles.

Thank you.

I don’t but I can add to my list of things to do!!!

Thanks for the great video 📹 😀 👍 🙂 But I have a question 🤔 😉 How can I join two pieces with such of degrees of cut ✂️ 😮
Thanks so much!! Without seeing or trying I would start with good coverage of wood glue and then go from there. Not much help….. sorry.

Hahaha! Thanks!…..(I think!?)
How do you make that cut on a base or trim that is 7.5 inches and doesn't fit under the saw like a 2x4?
Got to be careful. Some just won’t fit. Might have to mark and use a circular saw.
