Question:

How can I lay out a 65 degree angle on a framing square?

Answer:

By doing a lot more calculations than I know about. There are books (not just chapters) written on how to do things with a carpenter's square and I just have not taken the time to study them. Mine works very well as a square and a skillsaw guide though.
