 | | Hinge wall alignment
|
| I have one other technique that I haven't documented yet. I saw William Howard doing some slanted walls for shop fronts, and had to work out the maths behind it. The technique is for fitting in a wall that slants in or out by two studs. The slanted (...) (17 years ago, 18-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) For the sake of completeness, it's worth to mention this technique not only works for any length, but also for any width of plate/brick. In other words, you're able to slant ? x 2, ? x 4 and so on by mirroring along the diagonal as well, using (...) (17 years ago, 18-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

| (...) Believe it or not, I worked some of this out whilst placing sheep. We use a lot of the sheep based on a 2x3 brick, but they all tend to line up in the same direction. So, next time you're building a flock, try this: Place two 1x1 round plates (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
