NOT the maths!!!

Thank you all so much for all your ideas I do love them all. I sent two brooders full of babies out today and I guess I will try to pool idea (thanks Deb) to get another brooder moved out tomorrow.
I still have one to figure something else out. I have some wood and wire and I had already started another grow out pen so I may have to do something to get it off the ground for the turkey.
I would love another shed to use as a brooder house but the we have see.

I did call two of my Dr'.s today and I made an appt. but it is not till the 2nd so I will just be taking breathing treatments till then.
I do need to be using a mask to tend the chicks and all the pens. I will have to pick some up.

Thank you all again so much for so many wonderful suggestions!

Wisher I think that would be a 45* angle.

Okay, all you smart Old Folks, I need a math problem done. I know that the outside angles of a triangle must add up to 180o and that if the sides are all the same length the angles have to be 60o, but what are the angles of the cuts that I have circled in red? I am building my triangles out of 2x2 lumber and each side will be between 48" and 50" (yet to be determined.) I am building supports for 50" cattle panels in a trianglular tube. I plan to use this as a grow-out pen for juveniles.

divide 60 in half or thirty degrees.

For what its worth all the inside angles of a triangle added are equal to 180 degrees

Nope... two 45 angles equals 90 degrees.

I believe each cut is 30 degrees. Each angle is 60 degrees and you're basically bisecting the angle; right?

I understand that in math but... when you set your skill saw to cut you need to have your angle at 45* to match up for a corner or point of a triangle I believe even for a picture frame.
Here is a video on youtube about cutting a 45* angle.

I go to TSC to buy feed and come out with things that I need to feed.

Stopped at TSC to see if they had woodstove cement sealer stuff it's black and looks like roof tar, nope stove stuff gone. The kids had to come in also cause they wanted to look at the chickies and duckies. Thankfully the silkies were all gone, I resisted them once don't know if I could have, actually I know I WOULD HAVE walked out with some, thought about it on the way in and I don't need anymore chickens much less basically defenseless ones. Lol, wheww dodged a bullit there, no more TSC until I know they are GONE!

NOT IT

OMG that made me laugh. Thanks, bama. The person that said the cut is 30 degrees on each piece of wood end is correct.



I can also do lots of stuff with a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a picture frame is made of four pieces creating 360 degrees Each corner once assembled creates a 90 degree angle. To cut two pieces of identical material to make 90 degrees you have to cut each at 45 degrees.

A triangular frame is made of three pieces creating 180 degrees. If that triangle is made of equal sides then each interior angle is 60 degrees. To cut two identical pieces of material to make 60 degrees those pieces have to be cut at 30 degrees. As in Wisher's picture.

I was a sheet metal and metal frame designer for many many years. Big and small stuff.... Ranging from Electronic cabinets to assembly platforms the size of a foot ball field. I was smart enough though to leave compound cutting to the experts in the field....
