    Probably the best Ryan's Shed Plans on building a shed is hardly found ever . ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG And Ryan's takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

    I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.

    I've been on the Internet for years trying to learn some accuracy skills. This is the best I've ever seen. Now I know why some of my cuts just seem to be a bit off. Thank you so much for explaining it. The acute angle has always been a debacle for me. I now get it.

    I am very glad to have find your channel. Using my miter saw has always been my hell. I used the scale on the miter saw and of course all of my angles were wrong. Thank you for this video.
    I have viewed nearly all of your videos and now I am using my miter saw like someone who knows what he is doing. Again, thank you very much.

    Ok, as a finish carpenter for 20 plus years I know the trick with the jig to cut acute angle’s. I also know that 0 is a 90 degree cut but to count the degree’s backwards from 90 never occurred to me. Awesome idea!!! I’m not easily impressed anymore with finish carpentry but this really helped me gain a new and different perspective. Thanks so much for revealing your knowledge. Much appreciated, my friend!!!

    @casperwallace9685 3 роки тому

    I waste so much wood trying to get the angle right, on projects I am attempting to do, I get it right sometimes but thats more just luck than skill.
    I measure and measure and measure and cut 20 times still get it wrong.
    This made so much sense to me.
    Now it's just practising it so I don't have to keep thinking it through.
    Why they don't put this stuff on the actual mitre saw is beyond me.
    I will just have to keep watching this a few times to get it into my head.
    Bless you....thank you.

    • @casperwallace9685

      Can I just suggest a few things.
      # Pencil doesn't show up well on camera.
      # Give people time to digest what you have done. Don't just skip ahead.
      # We need the camera aimed more at your hands and what they are doing than you actually talking to the camera. (Sorry..lol ) We can still hear you tho.
      # Why don't you angle the mitre saw to 45 degrees you just move the blade to 45, what's the difference.
      # Alot of my cuts right now in this project (Tall planter pot, with trims around top and bottom) are small, around 5 inches, so your jig of 4 " won't work well for me on those cuts.
      # I see you don't clamp wood to your mitre saw so how do you hold small bits of wood on the mitre without taking your fingers off with it.
      thanks

    Brilliant! I must have watched two dozen videos and wasted hours of my time trying to find out how to cut baseboard for an inside bullnose 135 degree angle. Nobody came close to this delightfully simple presentation of an otherwise mind-bending challenge. Thank you.

  • @Woodhoek
    @Woodhoek 6 років тому +104

    You can make It easier: in Your example a 120 degree angle. 180-120= 60 divide that by 2 is 30. This 30 is than the mark on the machine. So you don't have to make new numbers by the marks.
    So always start with 180 minus the wanted angle and then divide by 2. And use the normal markings on your saw

    • @danielmp-007
      @danielmp-007 6 років тому +2

      W-P Van den Hoek
      I know a 45 degree is a 45 degree, but the 180 - 45 degree ÷ by 2 does not give me 45 degrees🤔

    • @benjamindover7434
      @benjamindover7434 6 років тому +20

      45 is an acute angle so just divide by 2. Anything over 90 is obtuse so you minus it from 180 then divide by 2 to get your miter. 🤷‍♂️

      @chiefpokemgood1752 6 років тому +3

      Sometimes it ain't always that easy, like if you have some crown, or base, or any kind of trim that can only be cut to fit one way and not reversible, it's much easier to turn the saw than it is to flip a piece of crown moulding upside down and balance the 12' stick with your right hand while you try to cross over and cut with your left.

    • @V4p3rcl0ud
      @V4p3rcl0ud 6 років тому

      Parry Tillman well no, it doesn't work for all situations and angles, but in this situation he could have. Also some saw horses or something can solve that "balance" issue for you.

    • @chiefpokemgood1752
      @chiefpokemgood1752 6 років тому

      m1k3c0urtn3y43v3r this is true. On a framing site then yeah, set up a saw bench and go to town, but it's good to know both sides of the saw just in case

    This makes a world of sense and is appreciated very much.
    I've been trapped into a huge (for me, with little experience with tools) project that requires replicating odd angles on the house's original deck. (If they'd built a rectangular deck, I'd be cruising down Easy Street.) For a host of reasons, not buying a miter saw such as the excellent model shown here. That's a shame, because this is much easier for a beginner to conceptualize on this professional setup.
    Instead, I have a first-rate circular saw. It's harder to conceptualize making these odd angles work on my DeWalt DWE575SB, and the Diablo TrexBlade works flawlessly. However, a stack of miscut ends is accumulating and I turn long planks to and fro. These planks have been ripped to 3.5" to serve as fascia, making this more complicated.
    Perhaps I can watch this again ... and again ... and glue to concepts for correctly measuring angles into a fevered brain. Many thanks for your video! Kudos!
