Long winded video today, I thought I’d go through all the methods I know to take mitre angles and transfer them to your workpiece.
Whether you intend to cut by hand, with a mitre saw, with a mitre gauge on a table saw or bandsaw or with some crazy karate style chop, there should be a method here that works for you.

Silverline Angle Finder amzn.to/3rTe9QL
Oxford Helix geometry set amzn.to/3rP3mqR
Compass (mine’s an older version) amzn.to/3b5M7uC
Masking tape amzn.to/3b0RX0u
Pencil amzn.to/3phR7RS
Adjustable bevel amzn.to/2OD2vvn
I missed out the Starrett angle finder (because I don’t have one) which does the same as the Silverline angle finder but with a circular gauge instead of a digital display

Do you use that method with the piece of paper to bisect a mitre angle when you actually need to do so at work? It's an interesting method I have always just set my bevel to the angle and then transferred it to a piece of wood and then used the ruler to mark two lines parallel to the first ones and wallah you can then set thought bevel to the bisected angle. Of course with the invent of mitre protractors and accurate mitre saws these methods are slowly dying out sadly. Great video I have subscribed. 👍😀

Hi and thanks. In fairness no I don’t use that method at work, partly because I have the easy modern day tools that make the old methods die out and partly because my day job has no connection with wood work or building. My motive was (and often is) purely to illustrate to the average person just starting out that while there are many that would have someone spending thousands on tools, there are methods that are simple and cost little.
