I really appreciate how detailed and specific your video was in it's production and narration. You explained every step, and sped up the repedative, but necessary parts where each side of the library needed to be thoroughly tended to (example: applying the calk, smoothing with wet finger to seal, and wiping that finger off). These are the little but crucial details that many tutorials miss. Thank you for your tremendous effort in educating us!

Oh my god! this is incredible, amazing, so admirable. I'm from Chile, I didn't know about Free Library. It's just something unbelievable. You have so many things that help your people have good education and gives more opportunities to learn. I admire you, in my country people doesn’t care much about reading, learning more, we have bad education, and a lot of crime. If I put a Free Library outside my house, I’m sure no one would use it and in a few days it would be stolen. Things like this shows why you are happy and inteligent people. claps

Great build! Here's how I explain the miter saw angles... when you measure the angle of the roof, you are measuring the total angle. When you set your miter saw, your point of reference is a right angle, or 90 degrees. You have to subtract half your angle from the 90 degree reference on the miter saw to set the angle.

We have a Little Free Library near to our neighborhood, and when we got some books in the Library we usually post them to Snapchat and Facebook and since then the owners of the house added additions to it to make it more noticeable like painting it green (from its original black) adding a roof and a bunny, there is another one far from it which is twice as big.

If I remember right the materials, paint, and plexi-glass were under $100. I did have the saws necessary for cutting the wood. The money I saved on freight for the online kit I bought a router. I live in Salt Lake City that is hot and sunny in the summer and cold and snowy in the winter. I cut up a sheet of plywood to build the library. I used caulk and a number of coats of paint to keep it waterproof. So far so good.

Your reading of 38 degrees is from the *fence* to the blade. However, the gauge on your saw reads from *perpendicular to the fence* to the blade. So, 38 degrees from the fence is the same as 52 degrees from perpendicular (38 + 52 = 90).

Very nice video. I just finished mine and I am glad I watched your steps... thank you. I do not understand the comment about the roof angle. If you follow the instructions it calls for a total of 90 degree angle (6 x 6 or 45 degree cut). In fact the trim should have the same cut as your roof boards that you did cut at 45 degree. When building mine, I ended up measuring a total of 90.5 degree for the roof... How did you arrive to 76.1 ?
@Iscaper
7 жыл бұрын
Hi Stephane. For some reason when I made the two 45 degree cuts for the roof pieces they didn't fit right. If you notice in the video I ended up with a gap on the roof line that I filled with silicone. I'm not sure if I made a mistake on the end pieces I cut for the end walls, but when I measured the roof angle it was 76 degrees not 90 degrees. To make the trim pieces work work for me, one angle was 38 degrees and the complimentary angle was 52 degrees. If your roof angle ended up at 90 degrees then the angle for the trim pieces would be 45 degrees. Looks like I made a mistake somewhere that you didn't.
