The three walls of the nook are neither flat nor square. I had just one piece of scrap pine to use for the shelf, and needed to cut both ends at different angles to get it to fit properly. So I built this simple jig out of more scraps to "measure" the angles, then trace them onto the shelf:

That is officially the most useful-looking tool with the worst-quality product video ever.

While it wouldn’t have been wide enough to measure both angles of my shelf in a single shot, I could’ve done one side at a time and gotten close results.

It’s called the Angle-izer and it goes for about $22 on Amazon.

Do you guys and gals have any of your own DIY angle-transferring solutions? (Preferably the kind that don’t involve math….)
