Love ya, Tommy. You were one of inspirations to get started in the trades. I have 3 weeks to go in electricians school in Chicago.You guys have always been important to me.
same applies for inner angles.thank you so much.ive spent an entire day cutting angles for cupboards by trimming a mm at a time.now its easy peasy thanks to you
Tom, you are absolutely amazing! I’ve been watching you for about four months. Your videos have been helping me redo our deck. when I tore down the deck I decided to keep the existing posts which were twisted from the weather and not exactly 90°. I didn’t realize how much of a mistake that was until I came to a point where I was installing the top railing at one corner and I couldn’t cut it at a 45° angle because of the twist and bad angle that it was in. I watched this video and now my railings are fitting perfectly even with the bad angles and non 45°. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Tom, this works, I used it for my deck rail, odd angles at both corners. I posted a video of the results. That’s the third rail I installed to get it right.
Tommy, I wish i wouldve had a master teacher like you Wouldve made being in the trades so much better, though i still love it Thanks for everything, pal
I like what you did, good tutorial. But, I think you should have mentioned to turn the second piece of moulding upside down from the other. I really enjoy your tutorials.
If you watch carefully he does turn it upside down for the second cut, but yeah he did forget to mention it. Also, I'm not sure that this trick would work for inside angles.
I went through the same problems with figuring out the exact angles with the old home I renovated.Not one corner was the same,the house had shifted that much.I eventually bought an angle gauge.
Brilliant idea. That is an external corner, what technique would you use on an internal corner ie to fit the moulding on the other side of that test piece. ?? Could use that info.
I suggest u get an angle finder ,its way easier ,prob in the range of 5-10 dollars but will save u a lot of time ,just by the cheapest u can get ,it should be enough
You forgot to mention that when cutting your 2nd piece of trim you flipped it upside down. Not sure if a beginner would catch that & it could result in a little frustration. Just an FYI
Hello, this old house; been watching your show for many years; I have a question; I built an 8x10 shed and all is good except for the triangular window on the gable front; the roof is 18 degrees or 4in 12 pitch; I cannot for the life of me figure out how to layout the cuts on 4x8 sheets of plywood;; I cannot seem to get the cutline long enough to make the cut necessary to get the 18-degree pitch; hope you,ll consider lending some advice be well thank you, Patrick P
hello I Have To Make A triangle Using Three Different width Boards So How To Calculate Or Cut The Angles Of Each Side ? If Someone Could Help It Will Be Greatly Appriciated
Show me what/how you moved the saw! ‘Saw set at the right angle” show me when/how to do that. Just hacking the line is not setting the saw, I am just cutting a traces line- how does that translate to my moulding???
These shows never gets old. Never get tired of see these.

Can you do a video on inside angle?
I wish I started out in construction with tom Silva as my teacher. He knows all the tricks.
The MASTER in his domain. Great tip Tommy! 👍👍
Your technique very easy,bcuz u r amazing
That’s Tommy being Tommy…brilliant and simple.

Tommy, after all these years of teaching you still the man!
It’s crazy how we have all of this material on demand! Plus is in high definition too.
Very handy tip! I can't tell you how much time I've wasted trying to cut accurate angles...
I'm wasting time right now on angles. Rrrrr. Frustrating
Tom, this works, I used it for my deck rail, odd angles at both corners. I posted a video of the results. That’s the third rail I installed to get it right.
Tommy,
I wish i wouldve had a master teacher like you
Wouldve made being in the trades so much better, though i still love it
Thanks for everything, pal
Amazing trick. Proof that you don't need fancy tools to get the job done.
This was perfect for me today! I was able to make the cut I wanted, and it was perfect!
Tom, out of all the videos through the many years this ones my favorite. Adorable. I always learn something
Love Tom!!!! Heck all the guys and gals on the show.
I like what you did, good tutorial. But, I think you should have mentioned to turn the second piece of moulding upside down from the other. I really enjoy your tutorials.

Tommy is a great teacher. Thank you sir. Great tip!
"What's that?" Lol! I thought he was about to say don't challenge me, this thing works!
Tommy's the man!
Love watching Tommy!
I went through the same problems with figuring out the exact angles with the old home I renovated.Not one corner was the same,the house had shifted that much.I eventually bought an angle gauge.
Hard to find good videos on this. Yours is one. Thanks
Ask T.O.H is the greatest.
He gets these impossible miter cuts perfect, everytime!
What's that? You don't have one of these?
Brilliant, thank you. Great video.
DustyFingers I saw him pull that out and thought, “seriously? Who owns one of those?!”.. and then the punch line..
Great direction and video. Of course being from the Mumbling Midwest, I had to hire an interpreter to figure out what Tom was saying! LOL!!
You are my newest best friend. Thank u for info!
easily & beatifully explained
I used a sliding bevel and a protractor works a treat.
Brilliant idea. That is an external corner, what technique would you use on an internal corner ie to fit the moulding on the other side of that test piece. ?? Could use that info.

Best way I've seen yet tom!! So when can you come over for some beer and remodel my kitchen? Lol
You saved my day. Thanks a lot.

Thank-you for that... As important as the Video... !

your guys are perfect, I really love the channel and enjoy watching new videos
now thats a great short instructional video !
Still my all time favorite video
Great method! Thanks for the tip Tom.
So did you have to flip the other piece of wood upside down
does this work for inside corners
Best in the biz!
Glad to see this. Will apply imediately.
Very useful and handy tip ,👍👍👍
THANKS TOMMY!
great tip! Thanks for sharing
Cool trick Tommy
Is there an analogous way to do this for inside angle??
Great video thanks
Thanks Tommy 👍👍
This is a pro-tip if ever saw one!
Thanks Tommy!!
And this works with big base moulding (6") that can't stand on edge to cut?
So funny! Oh you don't have one of these 🙂. I"m dense - will you please do the same video on inside angles?
Super helpful, thank you!
just in time! Thank U! perfect 👍👍👍
That was awesome Tommy, thanks!
Well done
Awesome tip
Mr and how do you find an interior angle would you pls show me
Rufino Tellez the same way, just cut the angle the other way on the molding
Thank you
hello I Have To Make A triangle Using Three Different width Boards So How To Calculate Or Cut The Angles Of Each Side ? If Someone Could Help It Will Be Greatly Appriciated
Wow 😮 nice 👍🏻 tricks of the trade 👌🏻
great tip......as long as you have material on hand
This is awesome!
thank you for sharing your ideas 🙏
Great for an inside corner but how do you do an inside corner that is not 90 degrees.
Does this work the same for inside angles
Necessity is mother of invention.
Thanks so much!
Pretty cool!
That's cool. Very good tip!
What about the inside corner?
You are a genius.
Neat! I had no idea.
Great tip knackers!
What if its skirting board and it doesn't fit standing up in the saw?
How come I’m just hearing about this now.
Thank you
Simple and effective. :)
Just saved me a contractor!
i dont have blade saw ! how can i do that without it
What did you use to get the blood off of your saw?
Nice job.. thanks for that tip..
what about an inside angle, Tommy?
Very useful
Does this work with quarter rounds?
Matthew Wong Yes.
When people call you on the phone do they call the Wong number ?
nice, thanks
Tommmy the 👑
You’re a badass - love this channel
What’s that? Ohhhhh . You don’t have one of deeeeez.! Love it.
Genius!
lol been a carpenter for years , I never knew that tip .
It's May 2021 and I'm not wasting an inch of lumber.. I'll get the protractor thing. Thanks
Show me what/how you moved the saw! ‘Saw set at the right angle” show me when/how to do that. Just hacking the line is not setting the saw, I am just cutting a traces line- how does that translate to my moulding???
LOL @ the editing!
And that is another reason why tommy and norm are considered master carpenters
Now what when it's an inside corner?
KISS, always best.
