Great, that chop saw will make quick work of the framing.

If we have a circular saw, a jig could be built to make quick work of
the triangles, otherwise, a jigsaw would be the best way to go. If we
don't have a circular saw, it may be worth paying Home Depot to cut the
board into rectangles which will be made into two braces so that the
triangles are all square.
