Making a Simple Acute Angle Jig

Wow, simple, but effective. Just the way I like it. Guess I’ll tuck this into favorites for later, Thanks.

The jig looks good but that chop saw station looks fantastic.

Great job as always—simple and accurate! Great looking chop saw bench/station!

Jeff, this was a 30 minute project and that’s just because I’m slow LOL.

Huck and John, thanks for the kind words. I forgot about the miter saw station. The base for the miter saw station was some prototype cabinets I built before building our kitchen cabinets. One of these days when I get my shop organized I will post some pictures of my shop.

Looks good Lee! And it looks like a safe way to make those acute angle cuts!

That’s a interesting solution to acute angles and perfect location to build your shed. Wish I knew this technique a few years ago for my shed.

Well done! I’m really jealous if you have a shop big enough to build a shed in :-))

Tony, making acute angle cuts without some sort of jig or fixture is just plain scarey.

Geoff and Bill, a wise man told me once that you can never have a big enough shop. He was right, but I tried LOL!! Oh, it is heated too with radiant floor heat. Another wise decision.

Hey Lee, that is gonna be an over the top shed buddy. My outdoor projects usually dont get windows. The gaps in the walls usually let in plenty of light….lol We seem to be doing lots of projects for the women in our lives here lately dont we?? Stay safe sir

That is the way to do it for slim angles. Nice jig!.........................Jim

I like it. I think it would work better than the 90 deg. one that I made

-- Tyvekboy -- Marietta, GA ………….. one can never be too organized

Hey Buster I have seen your projects buddy they are top notch. As far as keeping our wives happy, you bet LOL

Thanks Jim, after making the first cut using the jig I felt safe cutting those acute angles.

Tyvekboy, I looked at the 90 deg. jig but felt this one would work better for me.

Wish I had this before my adirondack chairs were built. Simple, but very effective

I trust that you have means to relocate this shed when it is finally done.

It appears, from little can be seen, that you are doing a great job. I would like to see more details.
