Thanks Rick,you obviously know about "Math anxiety"! I see that I could easily us your spread sheet. What's more I understand the principal, but, I have to admit, I just ordered the digital adjustable square, too useful for me when measuring up "on site" special stair rails and what ever the audio-visual entertainments world can invent for me to build.
I do enjoy your ideas!

Matthew,
I have put the spreadsheet up with the article. If you can run an Excel spreadsheet, then you can avoid all of that math. Hopefully this will help.
Rick

For those of us who suffer from "math anxiety" (US)) this is really a nice thing! I spend my time devising ways of doing things using geometry and construction, avoiding "maths"(UK). "Cos" and stuff literally makes me shut down mentally. I was extremely relieved when I found this!

I really like the idea of sine bars, a beautiful principal, just the "Maths" gives me a short circuit between the ears!
