Hello!

Currently setting up OSB boards as interior walls in our storage room. Inside, the ceiling follows the roof's slope.

My question is, how do you cut your boards to get a nice joint between the sloping ceiling and the wall?

Do you measure the height at the beginning and end, draw a line between the points, and saw? I find that this can lead to mediocre results, as a miss of a few millimeters gives a poor final result.

I was considering holding the board up to the ceiling, using a level to draw a horizontal line that can then be parallel shifted. Perhaps cumbersome?

Maybe there's a carpenter's tip that others have that can make life easier.

I wondered if you might hold the board against the ceiling, take a level and draw a horizontal line that you then adjust parallel. Perhaps cumbersome?

Is there maybe a carpentry tip that some of you know of which can make life easier.
Also measure the corners between the points.

Measure more carefully than before, and it will be better.
 
Also measures.
 
Even when I measure two points and draw, if the first one turns out well, you can use the leftover as a template for the next and only take one measurement.
The alternative is to determine the exact roof angle using something like this and set an angle with a protractor.

Digital angle finder with a Bosch logo, displaying an angle of 45.8 degrees and equipped with a bubble level, used for precise angle measurements.
