I am in awe of the math skills shown here. I once trimmed out the interior of a house that had two round turrets. Watching my progress , our high school's math teacher, who had taken a painting job for the summer, asked me if I would be willing to come to the high school on career day in the fall and talk to the students about how I use math in my job. Well about mid September he called me and outlined what I'd need to discuss in my 45 minutes. Yikes! all I could think of was the strings and nails and routers bolted to long plywood strips that I used instead of math. I ended up declining his offer, as I had spent a career teaching myself how to do my work without using math. Sometimes we can work around our shortfalls on a relatively simple task and get by. Just don't ask me to offset grind your merc crank to 4 1/8". I could not begin to understand the math involved!
