Hi all,I created a spreadsheet for calculating a few things regarding angles and miters.Knowns:- Envelope (Length and Width)- Tube size (1" square, etc)- Guesses on starting anglesCalculated things:- How long to make each tube- What the miter cut angle isAdd'l things the user has to do:- Mess with the plot's x and y so that the graph is a square. (pretty easy)- Convert the calculated length of tube into a fraction / close as possibleI guess this sounds more complicated than it really is. Check it out and let me know what you think. Below is a screenshot of the plot. I think the plot is pretty useful.I was using this because I wanted to make a 'bent' leg on a bistro table. I knew the table top dimensions (24" x 24") and I knew the height of the table (42") and I knew I was going to use 1" tube. This program made it easy to figure out what cuts to make. Hope you find it useful!Attachment 1433091PS: I had to use a ZIP folder to attach to this forum.
