13. If both pieces were on the same plane...

meaning...if it was something close to a 90 degree corner, you would just cut a 45 degree bevel on each piece, and join them together.

Or, if the angle was not exactly 90 degrees, you would measure the angle, divide it by 2, and cut the bevel to something different than 45 degrees.

ie: you might cut each bevel at 44.5 degrees.

My problem here is that the solution can be explained to me as in a comment above, but I need a clear picture or drawing that shows it to me before I can understand it.
