Well now, that clears it up for me! So obvious. Wow. Why hadn't I considered calculating the measurements on paper and then cutting them?
lol.
Unity100, that's precisely the problem, I don't know how to cut the wood to form sixty degree angles, nor do I know how to make calculations which will allow me to cut the wood to form sixty degree angles.
I can make 90 degree angles easily enough for the square base by cutting the ends of the four base pieces at 45 degrees.
But the four pieces that rise to the apex are different. Firstly, they don't form a two dimensional triangle. They turn inward to form the apex in the center of the base, as i'm sure you can visualize.
I have long suspected that I am an idiot at heart, so that is probably what is interfering with success. For now, solving this issue seems beyond my intellectual capacities.
So if you have instructions to cut 2x2 pieces of wood to form interior angles of sixty degrees, or if you can create a structure yourself and mail it to me, I am all ears.
