Try it, scribe a 45° angle using the video's method; now check the angle against the square's 45° hypotenuse - close, but not actually 45°.
@@jimmyc974 You put your pivot point on the line and it read 40 degrees. Let's say you need a 25 degree angle, place your square flush against board and pivot till 25 lines up with the edge of your board, mark front side where it says pivot that's a 25 degree angle.
he speeds thru the most crucial part of the video. this made no sense to me. if I need help finding an angle obviously woodworking is not my profession. slow tf down you sound like an auctioneer
I don't understand how he lined up that block in the first place, it's already on the angle he needs, but how do you know how to angle it like that in the first place, or does it not matter how you lay in in the first place?
Because where he placed the board is the final resting spot of where he wants the board to line up. It’s really not that complicated. Have you never used a speed square or something?
This is if you already know what you’re doing or if you run into the same situation where you work this isn’t a video to teach you how to find angles but simply cut corners to speed it up.
Do you have any videos on how to use a square to determine vinyl siding angle cuts? See some guys using a square off blue print measurements so they precut before the job. This would be great thanks
I’ve considered pre cutting before some of the jobs I do for decking after seeing a crew do it. Half the time my customer change their minds about stuff mid job though
He made sure to get the angle with his square because in this case he is cutting muliple 2x4s at that exact angle. This helps him cut down his cycle time. Otherwise he would have to go measure everytime.
And that's why only idiots are left behind building trash! All the competent workers are getting fired by the very folks they should be in charge of...
nearly useless in terms of how-to. I suppose if one already knows how to to use a speed square, this video would confirm to them that the video creator also knows how to use a speed square.
@@DaNedmonster He used a block to determine the angle of the board, he then wanted to know what that exact angle is, so he put the square against the board until the pivot point on front side lines up with the line he marked, then read the number that's at the edge of the board which it said 40 degrees. Let's say you need a 35 degree angle ok. Place your square flush against the board and pivot on the board keeping the pivot point against the board until the number 35 lines up with the edge of the board and then mark the front side where it says pivot, there you go 35 degree angle. Got it? Hope that helps
So all you have to do is this,then that,move this,,then do this, use this then mark this on that, then use this on this to make your mark then use this to cut and then BOOM subscribe...

Speed square is the most used tool ever love it
Use it all the time doing tile work
Most underrated tool as well
Measuring tape before speed square
I call my speed square a "Square" because that improves my speed in saying "take the Square."
@JOHN-sk4xq you can just say "square" if it's the only square in sight. You only have to say "speed" if there's more than 1 type of square visible.

Smart. Thank you. The Law 90 degrees.
Thanks, that will come in handy 👍🏻
Where did you get 40 degrees from?
From reading the square.
@@HenryDoohickeyII And where exactly do you see 40 degree's correspending with line and timber edge in the video?

Thank you
Or you snap the line for the sleeper.. then you have your angle.. 40° bottom / 50° top
.. but this way is just as good
Thaaaaats riiiiiight
love the #shorts!!!!
Awesome Thor! I’m going you keep posting them!
Little late but the 40 Deg came from the bottom of square. Not where he zoomed in at. The 40 deg mark is right on edge of board
Looked more like 35/36 to me.
Should have put your speed square on the Valley Line and got the same thing
The speed square can give you the angle from the line you pop
If you know the rise/run of the roof the speed square already tells you the hip/valley information…
Great tip
Thank you!

Excellent
Awesome thanks
Very practical.
Thank you!
Also can be used as a weapon btw
Also it's 90 degrees off the top cut for a lay board
But it's a compound angle cuz the roof is sloped!!
So that's only half the angles needed to make the peice fit
This is if you already know what you’re doing or if you run into the same situation where you work this isn’t a video to teach you how to find angles but simply cut corners to speed it up.
You don’t have to use a block just use the speed square and you get the angle
this is gold
Thanks Denny! I’m glad I can help.
He meant comedy gold
Pro tip if you use the block of wood then you dont need to screw about with the square. knowing the angle isnt necessary
Do you have any videos on how to use a square to determine vinyl siding angle cuts? See some guys using a square off blue print measurements so they precut before the job. This would be great thanks
Use a level, rise over run done
I’ve considered pre cutting before some of the jobs I do for decking after seeing a crew do it. Half the time my customer change their minds about stuff mid job though
Or just know the pitch and mark a hip. It's the same. If they are two different pictches. The hip is always an average of the two.
Why not just cut on the line??
You could. You would lose some board length which is not that big a deal. If you see what the degree is, you can cut multiple boards. Hope that helps!
He made sure to get the angle with his square because in this case he is cutting muliple 2x4s at that exact angle. This helps him cut down his cycle time. Otherwise he would have to go measure everytime.
@@gentlemanjim9018 not necessarily, first one could be used as a template.
@@fatjuicybuds6101 the cut off can be used to get the cut line,you don't need the length
@@joeyz1234ever Of course, there are many ways to do a task. You could also use a T-bevel. All depends on what works best for that specific job.
Ur a genius
Well, that’s one of the two angles you need to cut
Very helpful indeed
or you could have just slid it all the way down to the adjoining joist and still got the same angle without using the 2x4 and marking a line
That’s one angle, but can you figure the compound angle?
Needed this
You just made my day so much easier. Thank you!
Ty
Do they have a slow square? I’ll take 2
You sure love speed squares
If you know how to use one, you'd understand why
That flew over my head
But how about a compound miter
Now tell me hoe many of you have read the speed Sq book and learned from it. ALOT of useful info
Subscribe? I have no idea how you got 40 degrees. All I got was dizzy
Same
I've been using a bevel but this looks a quicker way
Ok now show how you get compound angles?
What about the bevel?
You just answered a question I had on my mind for quite some time now!
Thank you so much! 🙏❤️
LOL, making a note of the channel name "The ExcellentLaborer" and disregarding it!
What about the secondary angle?
They sent the same guy that cut those trusses earlier?
“What ya call a speed square”
it's the angle of the dangle that matters..
Sir, thats a triangle.
Thats a compound cut whats the bevel ?
whatever the slope of the roof he is standing on
Kinda right
Are you saying angow?
I don't think the speed square is necessary you've already marked it. Here's an idea just cut it on the line.
It’s so you can cut many boards without checking the angle every time.
So he knows what that exact angle is. For cutting multiple boards
And 50% up top 40 +50=90
Exactly
To be honest with you that's not how it works once he cuts that three and a half inches off that 2x4 his measurement will be off
Not if the length of the board is longer than needed, he can just cut the angle and cut off the opposite end.
Too fast...what is the wierd angle
You need to be able to read your square first
lol I just use my 👀 peeper's, work's GREAT!
🤪🤦
Im sorry, what the
Good shiit
Can't really see what you're doing
Same reason I had to fire a sumbih! That wasn’t no damn 40° 😡
Yes it was it just looked like it read 30 or 35, if pause and look 40 degrees is lined up with the edge of the board.
And that's why only idiots are left behind building trash! All the competent workers are getting fired by the very folks they should be in charge of...
Boom

Huh. You don't say.
Waste of wood When you do that 100 times
Can you repeat this in Spanish
35° look again😂

then keep it moving grandpa

BOOM 🤯 NO THANKS. 💀 😂
I saw 45 lol
39 or 41? This would be a failing grade in Europa.
Just use the square ffs....
Another genius that can't read a square. You can use the tool to get the angle or guess but don't do both !
I just always cut them 45 degrees, it's close enough for a valley over lay
Lmfao if you know the pitch of the roof you don't need a speed square...figure out what a framing square is...simple shit bro
35
As yes, basic geometry 😂
What?!
Lol that explains everything 🤬
Well,duh
What???
Thanks I know how smart you are but can you slow down for the idiots like me and explain it.
I hate when things aren't at 40° degree angles.
Basic 😮
NS
Looked like 35 to me, better get some new cheaters !
nah that’s not how you do it
then make a better video explaining the right way to do it
