When it comes to projects, angles are my kryptonite.
I'm currently building some 10in deep floating shelves out of 1.5" thick butcher block. As you'll see in the pics below, I have to do a bevel cut on one end at 52 degrees to match the pitch of the stairs. My miter saw will only tilt to 45 degrees. What's the best/safest way to do this, whether it be on the miter, a table saw, a circular saw, or something else?
Put a piece of wood under the board to lift it off the bed of the saw. It's quick and dirty but it works. Practice on some 2x material until you get the right angle.
Hi-
I have three of these iron shelf supports that support 75 lbs each when attached to studs per manufacturer.
Now that I have everything marked out I'm not 100% sure where to place the supports. Right now I am thinking put one in the left corner because there seems to be a 2x4 there. And then just place one more on the far right, both spots marked in red. The blue horizontal tape represents what I am thinking in terms of the shelf height and location. So it will run from the left corner and then stop flush with the far edge of the gray vertical divider I have on the floor.
I'm terrified to drill through this tile. I guess in hind sight I could have drilled some test holes before tiling just to confirm. I did use a stud finder before the tile and marked those with tape on the crown molding. My magnetic stud finder did not work through the tile but my electronic stud finder, while not perfect, confirmed the marks above after checking 100 times. The pictures may look a little weird because of the wide lens.
Anyhow, does that make sense to just use two brackets as marked? Thx

Hi - My son received a dart board (with wood cabinet) for Christmas and just went to hang it in his apartment. The instructions say don't hang it on a hollow wall. I'm not sure the board cabinet is wide enough to hit two studs, and based on the instructions I don't know if I should tell him to buy some heavy duty anchors and use those. The dart board & cabinet is certainly heavy, although people hang shelves on sheetrock walls with the proper anchors, so despite the manufacturers warning should I tell him to do it? If not, any other ideas?
Thanks,

Cut Angle in Shelf Greater than 45 Degrees?
