2.

Assemble segments into angles of Two. Total Angles = 36 Combine Angles into Squares Total Squares = 18 + Pre-drill holes for all screws to avoid splitting wood + Joints are to be square

Cut Angled wedges by angling Miter Saw to 22.5 deg. Flip stud for every cut.

Total Wedges = 96

3.

Screw base wedge to Square, using extra 2x4 at base as platform guide.
