Re: Help me make a star lol

Wow Dave, please dont be so god damn informative, I can hardly fucking stand it.

Let the possible math minor help a brotha out . I have an idea let me do a quick drawing and shit.

EDIT: As promised, heres the drawing. Basically cut yourself out 10 of these bad boys, just make sure they are the same length and the angles are accurate.

Just nail, screw, and/or glue the cut part of the 30* angle to the other cut part of another 30* angle and glue, screw and/or nail the 60* cut parts to the other cut part of another 60* angle. See what I mean? It would be a good idea to print and cut out 10 of that example 2x4 I drew and make sure it works.

Also, rather than cutting out 10 pieces of 2x4 and then chopping a triangle off of each side, you can do it with just about no waste, but its hard to explain. I would just do it the way of cutting out 10 pieces and having a bo-zillion triangles, I would have a smaller chance of fucking it up and I bet I would have a use for those triangles sometime.

The whole picture kinda looks like a face. The star looks like a nose and the windows as eyes, and.....well, you get the picture.
