Good at math but geometry eludes me - algebra, no issues; figuring out a mitre angle, and I'm on the floor in a fetial position crying !
My go-to method has always been trial and error - little cuts until the joint works. But there has to be a better way?? Some, super secret, carpenter only method that is only accessible via some sort of industry handshake??
Example below (from a deck railing I was installing yesterday) - could someone (anyone) please explain an EASY way to figure the angle(s) needed to make this joint?
