Wow, huge topic. This is a great example of why one should join the Guild. There was a recent series of articles in the Journal on compound joinery. There are many layout systems, some using trig, some using developed drawings. All of these have been discussed in the guild's pubs. The red book even has a pullout centerfold with provocative drawings :-) There are also classes available specific to the topic. Will Beemer teaches one at heartwood. I'll be demonstrating how to use Sketchup to develop compound joinery in situ without trig at the Western Conference in Coeur d'Alene this spring. CB.
