Fin Boxes with futures

Hey Everyone,

I've got a gaggle of boards now and they are looking SICK! 

However. I have run into a problem that I don't think is necessarily a problem 

I am using a home made jig for futures fins. The fin box is 5 inches long. My shapers square only has markings for a 4.5 inch and 4 inch base. So if I want to toe in my fins 1/4" can I just select a marking that is slightly less than that to acount for the fact with my longer fin boxes the toe in will be slightly larger?

What I did instead was much harder. I basically drew a line perpindicular to the stringer extending to rails. Marked the bottom of the fin boxes that I wanted with a dot. Then I draw a right angle line upwards from this point, measured out 5 inches and measured my toe in from that line. 

However, I am having some trouble making sure the angle is exactly the same on both sides.

Do you guys have any tricks? 

Thanks,

Adam
