Dividing Angles for Woodworking - Old School Compasses Method!

Today we're looking at how to divide or bisect angles using a pair of compasses - this is an essential woodworking skill. There are numerous methods of bisecting angles, this is just one of them. Other methods include using two parallel pieces of wood, a digital angle finder or a mitre gague with in-built angle splitter - I'll cover these in future vids. I find this method is one of the most accurate ways of doing it and especially handy if you need to cut the angles off-site.
