I have tried the following method before, but always end up frustrated. “stack two cedar shingles, one with the thick end(butt end)facing forward,and the second shingle reversed (with the thin end facing forward. Then rip them at a compound angle relating to the pitch of the roof on your table-saw.I tried this, but somehow it didn’t work. The mitre was correct, but the width changed every other course. Ever heard about this method? Is there another way to do this? Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can offer.
