Very nice.
How did you go about figuring the angles? Did you calculate them or just
make a large drawing and measure them with a protractor?

I had to calculate the angles in order to cut them from square stock.

I'm wondering how you went about that. Basic geometry with triangles seems
like it would do the job, using the longest and shortest edges' dimensions
( Pythagorus: c squared = a squared + b squared). But with several decades
since I took Geometry and I don't have a CAD program, I'm at a loss to use
anything other than a detailed paper drawing and measuring tools.
