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.

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. -- Blue skies.
