Hey there fellow schleimers! You probably don't know me, as this is my first post here.

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)
