Ok so say you trying to make something that requires you to brace a 90 degree angle . How to you go about measuring and cutting that brace piece so it's a flush fit ? Is there a certain calculation you use or is that at least a tool I can use so I'm not making 20 cuts till I find the right angles and have a template? Also any recommendations for a tool I can use to find angles of stuff I already made but can be use like flat on the ground instead of vertical? I've been using a combination square ( I think that's what it is) but wanted to know if there was something better Sorry if it's a real basic question but I've been trying to find a video or something on the subject but guess I'm not wording it right

Would be helpful if we knew what you were doing.They sell metal angle braces at Lowes. If you need something more complicated than that,,just remember that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal,,the alternate interior angles are equal.
say you have a roof that is 5:12 five inches up for every 12 inches of run flip it any way you want like danny shows in his drawing it works on a framing square there are charts with angle for rise over run
To duplicate angles you want a sliding T-bevel. Also learn how to use a speed square and a framing square if your math skills are less than stellar,
So that's what those are for ! I legitimately had no clue always figured they where just some kinda straight edge. And I think I'm half decent with a speed square . One of the guys in my welding class was a pipfitter and he taught me how to use one pretty decent. Framing squares however I know very little about

Lol I'd just like to try and get better when it comes to my carpentry and metal fab stuff. I can butt two things together and make stuff hold no problem but would really like the stuff I make to look nice ,, flushed up angle cuts and the like
