I think what your asking is to make a wedge shaped box smaller? My favorite tool is an angle finder I picked up at Menards for a couple bucks. It is the isle with all the squares, levels and the such.

Figuring out the angles is easy with an angle finder like Blacka4 suggested, it's cutting them that sucks for me, they never seam to fit properly. Thats how I started fiberglassing, it fixed all my gaps and screw ups.lol

Nice, I used to have to do that too.

I've got a new way of doing wedge boxes now that allows me to slam just about any wedge box in under an hour and every joint is virtually seemless with nothing hangover or cut short. It would be kinda complicated to share on here or I would.
