Not sure if I'm just slow today or what, but I can't figure this out. Building a work bench onto a wall using 2x4s. Bench comes 21" from the wall and I'm trying to make the angle cuts to go from the outside 2x4 to the wall (basically a triangle). Can anyone tell me how to figure this?

Also if you make both legs the same say 16" and 16" then you have essentially the diagonal of a square.

Length of brace would be length of leg times the square root of 2.

Your cuts are easier if the legs are the same. 45 degrees each.

This was just a quickie. Just got divorced and the wife got the house with the big garage and my big workbench. Just needed a place to work on my guns so I threw this together. Also used it as an excuse to buy a new miter saw then realized I have no place to keep it...


Thanks again for the help!
