Hey man I know topics like this seem rudimentary to some but for guys like me who forget things or "been awhile" since I've done angles with a miter this video was the perfect refresher! Thank you for making this. This was explained super easy not only to comprehend but using many tools of today made your demonstration very easy to remember!!! Oddly enough I just needed a refresh finding a odd angle on some aluminum pipe I'm cutting pie cuts from and just needed to see someone use basically and specifically all these tools you used and just made me life soooo much easier!! Thank you
I think this video has saved me! Now I can install my dollhouse baseboards and crown molding with more precision. You have no idea how much I appreciate this upload. I hope you live a charmed life, Caliber8 Tools.
Good job with this video. I thought the General angle Finder I have would be simple and easy to use. I always was puzzled by it. You clarified things well and your presentation was very easy to follow. 👏
Thank God! You are a blessing from above. I wish I had you as my teacher 50 years ago when I was in class. I could have become a star pupil instead of a struggling dunce. I had to teach myself geometry in my mid-30s because I enjoy DIY projects and I wanted to be better at them. You simplified what can be considered as difficult.
I bought one those yellow plastic angle finder from HomeDepot a few years ago l lost the box with direction how to use and never could figure out how to use it. I want to thank you for your great video and explanation.
Oh my, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the yellow angle finder on your video. I'm like other, I've h ad one for years and had no clue how it works. Thanks for sharing this video.
This is exactly what I needed. I am trying to hang a wooden bird nesting box in my yard on a wall that has cedar shakes. Cedar shakes are thin at the top and thick at the bottom. I want my bird box to hang straight and not lean back and could not figure out how I was going to figure out the angle to then know how thick of a shim I will need. I am going to pick up the first one you showed tomorrow. Problem solved. Thank you so much for a very useful video.
Good video about how to read angles using angle finders and showing the different types. Two suggestions: #1) show just a little simple geometry with a right triangle and show the 3 angles created when scribing a line - where you scribed a 60-degree angle, also show the viewers the 90 degree angle, and the 30-degree angle, which leads into #2) show viewers how to translate the 60-degree angle you scribed on the 2x4 to the proper angle set-up on a mitre saw, which would be 30-degrees (i.e. 90-60 = 30). One criticism: saying 92.2 is close to 90 is not accurate. Actually, 89.6 or 90.3 is close to 90. In the beginning of your video you mention that being off by a few degrees can be bad, so your video should reflect that when you say you're "close" to something. As a positive, the "90" degree angle you measured, at first glance, looks square, but you're measurement showed otherwise. Looks can be deceiving, so "always measure twice and cut once..."
Great video. Please consider to review the sound volume...getting higher especially on the intro part. If you are wearing an earphone...there is a sudden surge of volume.
This is an incredibly detailed and helpful video. Thanks for putting this together. A question- can you scribe an angle onto a long, flat panel of wood using the analog angle finder? Or would that be a better job for the machinist's protractor? Asking because I need to cut an angled notch out of some wainscoting due to an irregular wall corner shape. And it seems like the analog angle finder is good at identifying the angle, but not as good as scribing an angle line that I can cut along.
Question so I'm cutting baseboards. When I find the angle as you have shown do I cut both boards at a 50 degree angle or do I divide by 2 and cut both at 25? I'm new to this as you see lol
Why would I "Hit the like button" before watching it Too many presenters assume they are a Billy Big Bollocks whose content automatically deserves a thumb up Everybody knows how it works and you'll get a 👍if it is good
1. Place cylinder (circle) on top of plexiglass or transparent plastic sheet. 2. Trace circle on plastic sheet. 3. Use geometrical technique to find center (google) or just estimate where the center is. Then mark center on sheet. 4. Use straight edge to draw line from center to edge of traced circle. 5. Use center point on sheet as vertex when using angle device. Open device to 45 deg. Draw second line on sheet at this angle. 6. Place transparent sheet on top of cylinder and mark both locations onto cylinder.
Say more words for no reason and give more vague and just non-descriptive explanations of what you're doing... That'll make the video even less helpful. If that's possible...
lol! a "how to" video that does it wrong!!! For this tool the object your measuring has to be touching both LEGS. And not a the leg and protractor plate that is shown @4:45. if you do it correctly then your acute angle would read less than 90 like it should.
There was nothing "bad" about this video and it's more helpful than any other video I've seen on this topic, so far. If you think you can do better (which I doubt) go ahead and prove us all wrong.
@@Caliber8Tools at 4:52 your first demonstration on how to use it, it wasn't touching on the protractor part. That would have most likely made up the difference on getting you to the 45 degree angle, which in turn would have made your 135 and 45 add up to the 180

Had that little yellow angle finder for 10 years, now I finally know how to use it!
Thank You!
That’s a good thing.

Thank you.
Cool tutorial!
Thanks.
Absolutly useful ❤🌼🌻👌🙏🙌👍👏

Great video for a refresher in basic geometry! There is nothing worse than an ugly angle opposed to acute angle🤣🛫
True.
Thank you bro. I’m trying to get the right angle for legs on a table . Thankagain

Hi Jeremy, I would use a machinist’s protractor for scribing. Let us know how the project turned out.
Can you do one using this to cut crown molding? I have a project later today doing that
Good idea. Thanks.
I hoping to learn more about angle's
Great.
Finally!! A black guy that knows his stuff.
Question so I'm cutting baseboards. When I find the angle as you have shown do I cut both boards at a 50 degree angle or do I divide by 2 and cut both at 25? I'm new to this as you see lol
Cut both at 25 degrees.
@@Caliber8Tools thanks I appreciate it!
The first measure, 150, was not flush on both arms. It would have been 135 and 45 or 180. Measure again
You’re very observant aren’t you. Thanks for the tip.
Great tutorial; but I am curious on finding angle on a cleaver knife. Thanks
Interesting, I’ll look into that.
Thanks
The internet does not give breaks 🤣🤣🤣
True. 😂
can you post videos on knifes. Thanks
What kind of knives?
Why would I "Hit the like button" before watching it
Too many presenters assume they are a Billy Big Bollocks whose content automatically deserves a thumb up

Fair enough
Hi
why we need to check reverse $
Thanks
Unclear what you mean.
The first measurement wasn't completely flat that's why it was 180
Drill ka angle kasa sat kari
How can you measure an angle on a diameters using the second to the angle gauge?
Sorry but the question seems a bit unclear.
@@Caliber8Tools i was trying to measure a 45` angle from a round object.
See the video on How To Measure The Length of a Curved Line. That may help.
1. Place cylinder (circle) on top of plexiglass or transparent plastic sheet.
2. Trace circle on plastic sheet.
3. Use geometrical technique to find center (google) or just estimate where the center is. Then mark center on sheet.
4. Use straight edge to draw line from center to edge of traced circle.
5. Use center point on sheet as vertex when using angle device. Open device to 45 deg. Draw second line on sheet at this angle.
6. Place transparent sheet on top of cylinder and mark both locations onto cylinder.

Thank you, really? I’ll work on it.
Say more words for no reason and give more vague and just non-descriptive explanations of what you're doing... That'll make the video even less helpful. If that's possible...

How are you going to correct someone though with your grammar looking like alphabet soup? Make it make sense please and then, let's start again!
Sorry caliber8 but I HATE when people correct others but don't even got it together grammaticality themselves!
Wow that was bad...
please tell us what we missed so everyone can benefit, thanks in advance.
@@Caliber8Tools He meant that was good. see the heart sign? it would not be there if he meant it was a bad presentation.
