Hey this is Wes...if you have any questions or stuck on a particular project you need help with, go to www.woodworkingwithwes.com
You missed your opportunity to explain the most important step in how you arrived at the 30 degree angle for 12 sides or the 18 degree angle for 20 sides. An egregious omission for such an informative video.

Thank you Darrel for your kind words, glad you are enjoying the videos. Wes
Nice and easy instruction regarding angles. But, can you take it up a notch and help us figure the angle cut on a tapered box or column?
Good talk Wes.

Very good timing. I am looking to make a few planters with eight sides. I am trying to determine the correct size pieces for planter that will be 15 inches.
Excellent video Wes! I just made a 16 sided banjo rim. I like the looks of your 12 sided column here so my next banjo will have 12 sides.

So HOW did they taper the column? Columns get more narrow at the top. What is that degree of taper? The Parthenon for example has no straight lines what so ever. Although it LOOKS square and plumb.

I don't think the columns were tapered on this particular house restoration. Thanks for watching, Wes

How do you figure how wide to cut your strip to get the diameter you need

There are several charts one can get on the web that give the chord length for the desired diameter. I myself drew up full scale wedges of the angles I want then marked them at 1/2” perpendicular to the centerline and marked them as diameters, then just measure these lines for what ever diameter you need.

@@sickwilly1171 Right, but with a chart already available save the time of recalculating for every diameter.
How I determine my angle : 360/20 sides= 18 degree which I / by 2 = 9 degree
You failed to show how the outside angle is determined in proportion to the amount of cuts required. This is an example of why people shy away from angles in woodworking. This is the critical element to cutting angles to begin with.

Do you mean dividing 360 by the number of cuts for the outside angles?

@@sickwilly1171 So funny! It would have been nice to go ahead and explicitly state that for polygons (or 'circles' as Wes calls them) with N sides, the angle formed where each pair of sides meets is 360/N. And the angle to cut each side is one half of that value if you want mitered joints between the sides. So: For 3 sides (triangle): 360/3 = 120 degrees mitersaw setting is 120/2 = 60 degrees on each side of the side pieces For 4 sides (triangle): 360/4 = 90 degrees mitersaw setting is 90/2 = 45 degrees on each side of the side pieces For 6 sides (triangle): 360/6 = 60 degrees mitersaw setting is 120/2 = 30 degrees on each side of the side pieces For 8 sides (triangle): 360/8 = 45 degrees mitersaw setting is 45/2 = 22.5 degrees on each side of the side pieces
For those who didn't listen to the middle school teacher.
