    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!!!

  • @teaglet
    @teaglet 4 года назад +1

    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.

    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.

    • @stuartsimpson2949
      @stuartsimpson2949 3 года назад +1

      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.

    @BEN10TO10 6 лет назад +1

    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.

    • @Andre25167
      @Andre25167 6 лет назад

      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
