CUTTING OUT THE GABLE ENDS The diagram above shows how to measure the gable ends for cutting out. To draw the triangle shape of the gable end---measure halfway across, exactly 8', at each end and draw a line up the centre. Measure 18'' up each side of the gable end and draw a line across. Now draw a straight line from the 18'' line to the centre line at the top. Scroll down for directions on how to cut them nice and straight using a jigsaw. |

Cutting a Straight Line with a Jigsaw I am one of those people who can barely draw a straight line let alone cut one with a jigsaw, but there is a foolproof easy way to do this.You may find it easier just to study the photos. A picture is worth a thousand words. I have attempted to explain the procedure verbally here After you
have drawn the cutting line, hold the jigsaw blade at the line and
make a mark where the flat part of the jigsaw sits. Next do the same
where the cutting line ends, and draw a line. Clamp a steel ruler
along this line. When you are cutting along the line, hold the saw
snuggly against the steel ruler. |
