Apologies this is mostly infotainment ... if I remember right the jig I insert into my chop box for this build was 45 degrees meaning it reduced the angle from 90 to 45 in relationship to the blade, this jig allowed the work piece to be supported so that a compound angle could be cut with out moving the head of the saw from zero. I guess I was making an assumption that it was obvious what the jig was accomplishing.
I’m building a ramp off a porch which slopes 2.08º (it drops 2” over a span of 96”), but the ramp also is angled from the porch at 7º. I want to cut the supporting joists so that the ends that attaches to the porch are flush with the porch. How do I calculate what the angle of my saw and the tilt of my blade should be? My angles will change from project to project, so I want to learn how to set my saw no matter what the slope or the angle. Can you help?
I watched several time , still I can't figure out how to make molding jig . how that wood sting that place no clamping ,can you explain ,Thanks Billy ,you are very smart ,thanks
My saw has some holes on the back of the fence that allow me to run a screw through the fence into the jig to secure it, the jig is a straight board cut with 45 degree angles, thus reducing the angle from 90 to 45 degrees supporting the work piece sorry I don't make it in here very often to answer comments.
I have watched this a number of times and love it!! Question One, can you show us how to make and attach the stop block on the chop saw? The zero clearance? Is that just a piece of poster board taped down? How do you determine price for one of your trays?
So I'm no longer making UA-cam videos but I'll try to explain this The zero clearance is just a piece of poster board or similar material taped over the throat of the chop saw.... In terms of the stop block I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to but if you're talking about the fixture I attached to my compound chop box it is just a 45 degree spacer to allow for the compound angle ...
Nice work Billy. I wonder about the corner cuts, you are making a compound cut on you miter saw correct? One is 45 degrees and the other is?? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Everything is 45 degrees, you just have to orient the work peace the right way, at some point in the future maybe I'll redo this video and add some more detail because I've gotten lots of questions... I'm still developing my video style and editing. My day job is taking up so much time in the past year I really not had time to make any new videos.
I like the box, but you didn’t follow your safety advice, by not using a push stick that comes with a table saw for the cuts that you made to Make the pieces.
One of the most important parts in the part that is needed by most people is how to cut the angles on the chopsaw and you totally skipped that maybe you should think about how you do your UA-cam videos
Not one to troll but you state "don't do something just because you see someone on the internet doing it!"....sage advice; HOWEVER then you proceed to push narrow short lengths of wood through a tablesaw with your BARE hands....Duh!
He didn't show how to calculate and cut the mitre joints! He merely said 'I have a jig for that'. This is not a 'How to'. It's a 'Watch Me'.

The whole video was pretty terrible overall. Sorry Billy. I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
Nice project, Billy!
Thanks
These look great. I admire your skills around the table saw. Being left handed and a bit of a klutz, I’d be afraid to even be in the same room as one!
+Sean Higgins I wonder if any companies make left handed saws
Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video and project. They look great!
ESCAGEDO WOODWORKING thanks Eloy!
Nice job Billy :) These will make a great gift for someone I know :) On the to do list now ॐ
Glad you enjoyed... shoot me a link after you try it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Would like to know an easy way to join compound miters using biscuits instead of nails.

Sorry those are not skills I really have a good handle on... hope you figure it out.

Nicely Done !
William Lutes Thanks Bill!
It might be like the jigs for crown molding. His jig should be 38 degrees.
What are the angles On the miter saw jig?
See above...
Cool project.
Jim Dockrell thanks!
How did you make you mounding jig?
Not sure what you mean ?

3:02 absolutely genius! Thank you!!!
Thanks!
Nice video. Thanks. What angle is the molding jig off the bed? Also, the chop saw was set at 45 degrees?
+Gus Rolotti yes the chop saw was at 45 degrees and essentially The Jig in the chop saw is 45° as well

Cool 😎😎
+Nick DV thanks for watching and supporting my channel by commenting !
The most complex part of this is computing the angles... you should have addressed that, don't you think?
that's a good point everything that comes together as a joint is a 45 degree angle including the shop made jig that attaches to my chop saw.
What if you do not have a molding jig? What angle is your box from vertical
U@@BillyMcCord
very nice
+DesertBum WoodWork'n thanks !
Good job!

Make the pieces.
Nice!
+tim sway thanks Tim
Couldn’t get past the narcissism in the first 3 minutes. I was looking for a how to not infotainment.

Like I said ....
Pushing narrow stock by blade of table saw with just your hand is careless. and cutting brad nails with table saw is just amateur
Thanks for watching, but if you are uncomfortable with either ... then simply don't do it... as with anything you see on the internet.
