Zen might be in for major surgery . I have to have knee replacements soon and that will put me out of action for 6 months or so

Theres no one better than me for putting their foot in it.

**weisyboy** · 27th August 2008, 08:00 PM

ill give it a try cant be that hard.

if some one can give me some mesurements ill give it a go this weekend.

otherwise ill work out the angles and that myself.

it might not turn out pretty buy im sure i can do it.

any reason for miter corners why not finger joints or dovetails? no scratch that ill use miters.

Triton bevel accessory handbook, gives all the angle details for this sort of thing.

this is beyond my sketchup ability.

can someone do it for me?

if i can have a diagram or 2 that list all the angles. no nee to be miter angles just angles of the corners. and i can work it out on pencill and paper.

cant see for lookin.

thanks mate.

may i change the dimentions to fit what i want?

Dimensions can be freely varied...the ciriteria are:
1. no vertical sides
2. no 90 degree angles
3. all sides must be at different angles to the vertical

No major surgery btw...just a work trip away.

The last piece is usually the most tricky.
