Here's how to draw a 60-degree angle perfect every time with a Sharpie, a string, and a ruler. Let's get after it. So, go ahead and just draw a straight line. There you go. Somewhat straight, I guess. Take the end of your string here and put it on the end of your line there and mark here and up here. And now, flip it. Grab the end of your string, put the end of your string on the mark that you drew there and there. Grab your ruler again. And now, this right here is 60. We can check that. Grab your speed square, your angle finder. Put that right there, drop that down, and as you can see that angle is 60. Follow for more.
