Hi there

 

I wanted to make that a shelf letter. However, I failed so bad, it's not even funny.  My problem is the cutting of the planks. For starters I didn't do anything with the angle. Here is an example: 

1 – 1x6 @ 8” (long point to long point, both ends cut at 15 degrees off
square, ends NOT parallel)
2 – 1x6 @ 4 1/2” (long point to short point, both ends cut at 15 degrees
off square, ends ARE parallel)

 

I have absolutely no idea what that means. What does the long point to long point mean? and the 15 degrees off square. How about parallel and not parallel?

 

that right there was 15€ tossed in the bin :(
