daddyman77802 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hi guys, This may seem like a simple task, but i am stumped. I am trying to make a shelf I found in a magazine. All the corner joints are bevel cuts. In the cut list, it states what the finished lengths are suppose to be. How do I get the pieces to be the specified lengths? Some of the pieces of bevel cuts that go the same direction, and some are opposing cuts (i'm sure there is a technical name for what I am trying to describe, but I don't know what it is). When all the pieces are put together, it will make an "L" shape _________________ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I _______________ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodeuce Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Sorry buddy. Maybe it's because I'm looking at it on my phone, but having a tough time figuring out what you're asking. L shaped shelf...with bevel cuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHill Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 If you just think of the overall length of a given piece, it's easy to figure out. For a piece with facing miters, the overall length is just the exterior length. For a piece with miters facing the same direction, the overall length is the exterior length + 1 thickness e.g. Given a board thickness of 3/4", for a piece with 2 miters facing the same direction, take the exterior length and add 3/4" for the total board length. There's also a case where you would take the board length and add 2 thicknesses but that case is not in your diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
