Compound Miter Workshop
Compound miters don’t have to be intimidating. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn a simple, repeatable approach to cutting accurate compound miters on a miter saw using a practical cheat sheet designed for real shop projects. We’ll cover how bevel and miter angles work together, how to set up your saw confidently, and how to apply this system to common builds like trays, boxes, and frames—without guesswork or complex math. This class is ideal for woodworkers looking to expand beyond basic cuts and gain confidence working with compound angles they can immediately use in their own shop.
