Woodworking question:
The flat roof of the birdhouse fits atop the angled sides (causing it to tilt down toward the front) and meets the straight back board (on the back).
The back board fits like a puzzle piece into a notch in cut in the roof. The notch looks like a bite taken out of the flat roof piece 4"x.75"
How do I make an interior angled cut in the notch cut into the roof to accept the back so that the roof piece fits (angled down) snug-ly against the straight back board?
If I cut the notch straight, the tilt-downward of the roof piece leaves a large gap between the straight back board and the roof, with only the bottom edge of the straight cut resting against the back board.
Interior cuts, anyone? Interior mitre with a jigsaw?
How? Help is appreciated.
Thanks!
