Aluminum Angle Kit 3

Cut out more parts and started actually using the miter feature of the miter saw.

Aluminum pieces cut to size

I assume the dashed lines in the plans indicate a hidden corner, so this drawing is showing what I would consider to be the bottom of the part. Update: I was reading this guy’s build log who made this part first and cut it the wrong way around, so I am reasonably convinced that I did it correctly.

Comparing part to plans

I also made my first mistake (that I know about anyway).  I’ve been measuring from the 1 inch mark on the steel ruler to get a precise measurement and finally cut an inch too short on my last cut of the evening.  Maybe had I not made the mistake I would have continued working?

Cut the part exactly one inch too short and quit for the evening.
