One of the Dirty Dozen!
This is a pretty simple tip but who knows, it may help somebody. If I need to make a bracket or brace at angle of something other than 45 or 90 degrees, This is how I usually do it. There are more precise ways but this method can be applied easily if extreme accuracy is not essential.
First, use one of these readily available angle finders to determine the angle needed for the bracket, brace, or other structure. Then transfer the angle from the angle finder to your welding table or work bench using a marker or marking devise of your choice.
The result should look something like this.
