| Registered User Forum King  | The cuts will be 22 1/2 deg. 2 of those put together will make 45 deg. I use that angle extensively when making my 8 sided lighthouses.

| Registered User Forum King | Here's a calculator for determining the length of the sides. I came up with 13.8" http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/scol/calpolyg.htm You can save the .htm file and use it any time you need it. Go here for more. http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/
