Well said, trig serves me well on a regular basis; I always keep my scientific calculator in my tool bag I use it so often.just remember this SOHCAHDOA.

Not that its completely related but 3 or 4 years ago I was working on a custom house that was built curving around a tree. The handrail installer was told it was a 400(or something like that) foot radius. To properly make his curve he explained how he went into an empty parking lot with 400 feet of string and a piece of wood and a pencil, and drew an arc on the wood....All I could think was I guess he did not do well with calculus.:whistling
To clarify for some who might not be familiar with the Indian Princess mnemonic it's SohCahToa, not SohCahDoa.I never had a problem with trig, just remember this SOHCAHDOA. Except I've never had to use trig when I'm actually out framing. The most complex math I ever did framing was the arch formula.
R = (B² + A²)/2A
Oops yeah, I never could remember the Indian mnemonic. I use some old horse came a hopin through our alley. Was thinking down instead of through.To clarify for some who might not be familiar with the Indian Princess mnemonic it's SohCahToa, not SohCahDoa.
This is a way to remember how to get the Sine, the Cosine and the Tangent
Sine = Oposite over hypotenuse
Cosine = Adjacent over hypotenuse
Tangent = Opposite over adjacent
They have a school for that? How can I become a teacher there?Carpenter school was mostly 4 years of trig imo.
There are lots of schools....They have a school for that? How can I become a teacher there?
That's not true. Maybe it is where your from. I still find it hard to believe that alot of framers don't stick frame.ssssssssssssssssooooooooo many rafter lengh calculations for hand framed roofs.... which is strange cause most everyone uses truss'.
Looks like it is true.That's not true. Maybe it is where your from. I still find it hard to believe that alot of framers don't stick frame.
Hey Malco where you been man I thought you was dead?
