Abstract:
A method of cutting workpieces to be joined together around a joint comprising the following steps:a. selecting an angle cutting transfer tool including a first and second leg member pivotally connected together at one end, means to lock said first and second leg members together, and a straight blade pivotally attached at one end to each said leg member with means for delineating distance on each said blade; b. aligning said first and second leg members on said transfer tool between two surfaces around a joint which two workpieces are to be cut and joined together; c. adjusting said first and second leg members on said transfer tool between said surfaces; d. selecting a template board with one straight edge; e. aligning said transfer tool on said template board that one said leg member is aligned over said straight edge and the opposite said leg members is disposed over said template board; f. tracing the edges of said leg members and creating a first point on the midline axis between said leg members; g. rotating said blades until they intersect to determine a second point along the midline axis between said leg members; h. marking a line between said first and second points along the midline axis; i. removing said transfer tool from said template board and aligning said straight edge against the fence on a power saw used to cut the workpieces to be joined around a joint; h. adjusting the angle of the saw blade with said midline axis line drawm on said template board; i. selecting a first and second workpieces that will joined together around said joint; and, j. using a power saw to cut said first and second workpieces.
