determining box volume of an angled box

3.1616112268518518518518518518519cf.... rounded off of course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Nice.... but I think your a LITTLE bit off //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Much further off than you think //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It would take trig and more time than I want to spend to find that accuracy.

~3.2 is good enough though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Nah, just takes AutoCAD //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
It also depends on how you cut the front, top/bottom, and sides as to how the outside dimensions correlate to the inside //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
true, but using those dimensions, in a perfect world.... well, there ya go //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Let me make a terrible MS paint drawing ... will help explanation.

In the top picture, the wood thickness is .75 + the width of the angled cut.

In the bottom picture, it would only require .75 to be subtracted for internal volume calculation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It would be very hard to build a box like that.... To get a good angle, you need to angle both pieces.

If you only angle one piece, and try to butt it up with a square edge, the thicknesses wont match up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
