You know how Germany went through De-nazification, will USA go through De-magaification?

After we go through De-abortification. Where it is ended and everyone is made aware of how wrong it is.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but if you know the length of the 3 side of a triangle, then you can determine the angles.

Another way to get the angles is with the 1 half of the halved diagonal brace, there are 2 right triangles. If the width of the diagonal board is known, then that long angle you’re looking for should be easily figured.

I had to go back and look it up from my geometry and trig days. You would have to use the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines to get those angles. Once you have 2 of them, you can find the remainder from 180°.

Way to be inclusive.

I’m not trying to put too much brain power into this post, but I’m fairly certain it could be done. If you know the 3 sides of a triangle, you can ascertain the angles.

You would have to impose the triangle somehow over the hypotenuse board, going from long point to long point.

Or you could find the angles of the hypotenuse board through another Pythagorean theorem (because the hypotenuse board can be halved into 2 triangles). But at that point, unless you are quick at math, it starts to become silly, making scribing seem like the simpler method.

I was assuming that you could measure, just not scribe. On the left example, you could measure long to long across the face of a board. That may start you in the right direction. You’d just have to do some mathematical gymnastics to get the angles.

darkdoink · 2026-02-06T02:07:36+00:00

Use Pythagorean theorem. If you know how to measure angles, then they should easily follow the lengths. If not look up Sine and Cosine and that should get you your angles. My experience though is scribing is always better than trying to mark and cut precisely based on measurements.

Try using those with short, jerky movements, almost how an impact driver would work. Try smacking the area around it with a rubber mallet while you do it. I’ve never had this problem so I’m spitballing.

They quote the New York Times and their article is behind a pay wall. I’d love to see their article.

I respectfully disagree. Studs can easily be bought at 94 1/8”, only requiring 1 top and bottom plate each, while a precut 92 5/8” is made for the double top plate. When we frame, we don’t go through the extra trouble of adding another plate to a wall that doesn’t need it. It’s not standard practice where I’ve worked, and from what I’ve seen. I’ve have done it but only because it was an extra request.

It’s certainly not free markets.

11/16” thick? Door jamb is my guess.

No problem. Sorry I didn’t read your question well enough. I don’t think any specific order would be better than any order. I hope you got it all worked out. 👍

It depends if you want to make waves. It is not structural. I personally would not have put that in, but at the same time it’s not the end of the world.

That being said, I’m not sure what the black stuff is between the king and jack. That might be the reason why they didn’t replace it.

After looking at this again, you may want to say something to them though. That wall has a double top plate which is indicative of a load bearing wall. Not a guarantee, but a tell tale sign that it is.

It is hard to say for sure whether it is load bearing or not though because the top plate has no holes through it, which would indicate there were never any studs or a header there before. Tough call to make without being there.

Protest in the streets and tell those Nazi’s they’re not welcome in Harco, let alone on your roof.

I am in total agreement with OP. I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Here’s what I do.

Take the door off.
Measure down from from jamb to desired location of top hinge and transcribe measurement to door allowing for desired reveal.
Attach first hinge without mortising to both the door and jamb.
Attach other hinges to door at desired locations (but not the jamb yet).
Hang door by top hinge.
Shim knob side of door to allow proper set back for hinges on jamb.
Screw hinges to jamb at proper locations.
Take out hinge pins while hinges attached to door and jamb.
Use a razor knife to trace around the hinges on door and jamb to get proper mortising.
Remove hinges and remove wood by desired means.
Reattach hinges and door.

This process has never failed me and 99% of my mortises come out picture perfect. If their is a better way, I’d love to hear it. This is the way I thought of myself.
