Sneak-Peak: All about squares.
Added 2019-05-09 22:52:24 +0000 UTCFriends:
Last week's tool tote project reinforced the necessity of a good square in woodworking. I hate to say it, but a speed square just won't cut it.
Of course, even if you have the money for some squares, you still need to know what to get and how to use it. I plan to answer these questions and more in this week's video. I'll cover the essential try-square, the versatile engineer's square, and lots of other odds and ends along the way.
I'll have it up this weekend, just like usual.
Hope everyone is well.

2019-05-11 11:50:06 +0000 UTCI need to get at least one of the teeny tiny engineers squares. With that, a speed square and a good ol' Tri Square I'm pretty much set. You can have too much of a good thing. Like planes. You know, just for example.

2019-05-10 23:15:39 +0000 UTCI wanna learn all about the angle copy thingys!

2019-05-10 12:16:23 +0000 UTCThey're a cheap thrill. The "angle copy thing" is a bevel gauge. They're really useful and often very beautiful. You're right, though. I do own a lot of tools.

2019-05-10 04:40:50 +0000 UTCSpeed square, engineers square, adjustable angle copy thing and PRRHAPS a framing square. You sir, have rather a lot of squares. Your addiction clearly extends beyond planes

2019-05-10 04:36:42 +0000 UTCNext week, I think we'll make some. I should have some good tips!

2019-05-09 23:34:36 +0000 UTCI have been hesitant to make my own squares but, I'll finally have some spare 1/2" plywood to try it out. I would love to hear what you have to say about how to maintain shop made squares and what features you would suggest!
