If you ever have to cut a bit of wood to act as a diagonal brace it's pretty useful to whip out the old tan. So I've used this every time I built a gate.

That's four times in the last decade, so not exactly daily but I'm glad I knew how to do it or my gates would have sucked.

I've got a table to build, and I'm doing my best to remember the maths needed to figure out the angles before I start cutting the wood.
