Compound angles are a perfect example of this. Angled sides are used in all types of woodworking—think cradles and serving trays. The outward-sloping sides of these projects require cutting compound, angled joints that can leave most woodworkers scratching their heads. A compound angle occurs at the intersection of two sloped sides. Butt joints, miters, and even dovetails can be fit together in this manner. North Bennet Street School instructor Steve Brown’s simple set up block takes math out of the equation to make set up quick and easy. In this short video, Fine Woodworking special projects editor Matt Kenney demonstrates how to make the set up block and put it to use as he cuts compound angled butt and miter joints.
