Hi! I am trying to finish making the Rustic "X" Sideboard Table and I am having the hardest time making the "X". I have a compound miter saw, but I can't get the 60 degree angle to come out properly. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I recently did a project that called for an x.

When I was at the point of making the X I laid the first X board hanging over the edges of where it would go. I then took a straight edge and traced the angle onto the board. I purposely made the cuts a bit long, so I could shave small amounts off to get the exact angles.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Perfect! Thanks for the help! We traced it and they look great! Thanks again!
Excellent!
