I forgot about the blocks, they would also tell you what the angle actually is. 
Might be useful if you need to get some of the work fabricated out.

  Larry,

  If you just want to transfer an angle without actually caring about the 
  value of the angle measurement, then there are some devices available that 
  may or may not help, depending on how tight of an area you are working in.

  I picked up a little device from www.leevalley.com. It is just two 
  rectangular pieces with a pivot between them. You push it into a corner 
  or wrap it around an outside corner and then you can either take that to 
  your chop saw and copy the angle. Or, it also has a fin at the pivot 
  point that automatically bisects the angle for you if you need to make two 
  cuts and fit pieces together like when you are cutting moldings. Which is 
  exactly what I used it for and it was very useful.

  You could also pick up a set of angle blocks, also from lee valley, and 
  then just fit various blocks until you find the right angle and go from 
  there.
