There's no storage in my bathroom, so last weekend's DIY project was to build this simple shelf over the sink using scraps.
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:
It worked okay. Then, the very next day I see this thing online:
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….)
