Don Morton's Equal Angle system 4-5 inch first guide

With Don Morton's Equal Angle system how is th 4-5 inch first guide pacement accounted for? I drew up an angle pattern on paper and placed a rod tip at approximatly the same location as those pictured in the article (1/2 " at 120 degree mark) and found the first guide to be too far back (more than 5 " in some cases). If I had more guides of course, then the first guide would turn out within the 4--5 inch space. My angles were correct. Any suggestions

While I am not sure I understand the sytem Don is using - and I have seen it demonstrated in person - yeah, I know I am kinda slow - I think you might be trying to use too few a number of guides if the first guide from the tip is that far away. The smaller the angles, the more guides - the more guides the closer to the tip for the first one.

Use a different set of angles as per the instructions. It appears you will need more guides.
