    I was a very academic highschooler who took a theater production class for a required vocational credit. A lesson that has really stuck with me was one day that I needed to cut an angled brace and wasn't sure how to figure out the length I needed. I sat down for a while, worked out the trig, considered the thickness of the board and how long it would be on both sides, took into account that a 2x4 isn't actually 2" thick, etc.,.....cut the piece, and it didn't fit.

    I went to the teacher and was like "okay, what did I do wrong? How to apporach this?". She plopped a board down across the gap, and drew lines where the boards were that I wanted to meet.

    A couple months later I had a similar situation where I wanted a diagonal brace across a rectangular opening. I put the wood down, drew the lines, cut it...and when I set it in, it sat on the edge a bit, then I tapped it and it thunked in perfectly. I was so proud.

    Except that is literally the weakest possible joint. End grain to end grain doesn't hold up at all with glue as the tubes suck away they glue preventing it from bonding, and with nails or screws you generally want more surface area in contact to keep the torque from working the fasteners out.

    Not just hilarious… the first planned cut wooden’t (sorry) have worked. Look at the third line he draws, it’s just a random line, not parallel or lined up with anything.

    He uses the parallel ruler lines, using the width of the ruler to line up cut lines from one side of the ruler to the other but the ruler isn’t wide enough to map the depth of the zig zag pattern
