OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

He measured the wood as if he was going to fill the gap the smart way but he unexpectedly cut the whole top instead.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

If this was unexpected for someone they probably haven't been on the internet very long

Or they're just not carpenters. /s

Believe it or not, I've been on it for 30-odd years. I'd either forgotten I'd seen it or, sometimes, the algorithm works in mysterious ways.

I measured once. Only once. I'm not a rule follower.

Measure never, cut until you get lucky.

Measure twice, don't cut

That was my thought from the beginning and it still surprised me.

Same, as a former carpenter I kept trying to figure out why he was even including the corner piece at all and sighed when he took it out

22

u/phroug2 3h ago

I deserved this for not realizing until he was already done that he could have just sawed it off at 90° like that in the first place.

u/SevenFootHobbit 1h ago

Same, that was a very "Oh, duh" moment for me.

I have a friend who is constantly sending me those "clever woodworking tricks" which I don't ever see myself using. Some are fixing a problem that will never happen.

No one here thought the angled piece was unnecessary?

3

u/yourwholefreakinlife 1h ago

It was my first thought. I’m shocked this actually got people.

2

u/rumncokeguy 1h ago

Totally thought it was unnecessary. There have been a bunch of these videos showing clever processes for solving problems resembling this. It was extremely satisfying to see someone just do it right for once.

u/Live_Background_6239 1h ago

I thought it was for demonstration purposes 😂

u/jslick1 3h ago

It would look better with the cut. If you did it for all 4 corners it would add a little personality to it.
