I'm on my third attempt at a straight 8' saw guide. Resorted to U-shaped aluminum on a factory edge of bb ply this go-round and STILL not there. Slight bow in it after assembly. Sigh. I might start chopping up angle iron from a bed frame I found. Got any videos on making due? If I get one thing straight, all else will follow.

Another tip is that when adjusting your squares if you make it a habit to hold nearest to the blade during the slide motion they'll stay square longer, further away from the blade technically should cause a microscopic amount of racking tension combined with the sliding motion and rub a tiny bit harder on one adjustment post than the other, a trick I use on my Empire square that I have to tune once a year, maybe I wouldn't have to be as anal if I had an expensive one.

What you are calling a t-square is actually called a double square. Every t-square that I've seen consists of a long ruler with a perpendicular end that is not adjustable (not sure if there are adjustable t-squares or not). In either case, very informative, and I picked up some tricks alone the way :)

No. For drawing circles you need a pair of compasses. It’s always in the plural. I don’t know why. With one compass you find out where you are going.. You then only have a pair of compasses if your mate is journeying with you and he’s got one. For measuring angles you need a goniometer. More convenient than a protractor. Then there are T squares, tri squares, set squares, combination squares, sliding bevels. Compasses, trammel points. I’ve never seen a tree with square roots. 😀😀😀😀😀

Really wish I saw this before today. I just bought an empire 6" combo. When I got home from work I did some playing around with it and my veritas layout square. Over 4.75" it is out maybe 1/32 of an inch. That is 0.00657. For most of my needs that is sufficient. There is also a slight high spot in the middle of the one side, that I could hone out with my wet stones, but again, it is sufficient. Especially since I will be using this to mostly marking out screw locations near the edges/ends of boards. I am definitely going to go get a BLEM one from the link though. PS from my experience the Empire stuff is not so much for fine woodworking, but more for general carpentry, ie building a deck or a house. I have seen precision doing that to the nearest 1/4" or if you are lucky 1/8"

Yeah, you go right ahead and pay out the wazoo for an overpriced square, lol. Aluminum is just fine because I'm not going to be beating on the thing. And it isn't like it is somehow going to mysteriously change its shape on its own. Steel will rust like the rusty framing square out in my garage...mind you, it is still square as I don't beat on it with anything either, it just isn't "pretty" anymore. It'll still work fine for when I go to build my shed next year. In my shop I have a combination square, a machinist's square and a speed square and of the three I find that I most often use the speed square because of its convenience and it's a stamped aluminum ace hardware brand I think I gave a whopping $12 for.

At 7:15, you are right that the engine divisions can be used for extremely accurate layout, but it is kind of a goofy way that you do it. Opens you up to error and excessive wear of the divisions, or dulling of your knife on a hardened rule. Instead, stand the rule on edge and guide the scribe, or the unsharpened back edge of your knife, down the division to the surface. This eliminates what is sometimes called parallax error.

You voiced down aluminum squares as a carpenter's 24 X16. But they out there. They may not be square but can be adjusted using a hammer and cold chisel. If the internal is acute (less than 90) hammer the interior with the chisel a bit and the angle will open. If the interior angle is (greater than 90) hammer the exterior corner with the chisel and it will begin to approach 90. Of course a reliable square template is need and may be factory cut sheet of plywood.

All for the price of a non wobbly accurate. combination square. But then I’m a maverick these days.

Also after you set your check lines next to each other, you need to sight them, which means you bring your eye down to the board level look down the lines Daniel see if they're parallel or not you cannot tell from above, also it'd be very important tell your viewers how to actually adjust the blades in these squares you don't just loosen the nut inside the scale because that will wear the gauge pads that will make your Square out of alignment. When adjusting your scale to a specific dimension you loosen the nut then push the upward does forcing the scale away from the gauge pads then you move the scale to the location your desire. When you're close to the mark play me very close then you can release the nut I love to Spring to take over that make your adjustment or tighten your scale down also daylight lubricating oil wiped on the scale periodically it's not done daily will keep your investment well in tune and square is released from the factory in the first place, now go use your combination Square.,

Speed squares are not woodworking squares but small rafter squares, and as such are generally made for rough to passable finish work. When I first put my Woodpecker square against my 12 inch Empire rafter square, it was obvious that the machining isn’t the best. However, you’re also the first guy on KZitem who’s even mentioned buying blemished squares. Trust me when I tell you that I understand where you’re coming from. I’m just saying that the good stuff in squares are almost as expensive as a few major buys of a starting guy’s burgeoning workshop. I can’t say that they’re not worth it, though.

Man I could kiss you! The info on blem squares is an absolute game changer. I have only been woodworking for a couple of years now, and as of late, I have become obsessed with the facts that cheap squares hurt more than help. I have recently purchased a 6 inch PEC square for full price, and it has honestly become one of my most prized possessions in my shop. Since getting it, I have been determined to purchase a 6 and 12 combo square from PEC, but couldn't bring myself to spend 90 bucks on a 6 inch combo square. I just purchased the 6 inch double blem square by PEC from the site in your link. 35 dollars to my door. That's with shipping and handling. It is one in the morning and I was crouched in my bedroom using the light from my computer to enter my card information because I absolutely don't want to waste another second without such a great tool at an amazing price. This might have been the most helpful video of my woodworking career yet, because it makes these high precision tools, which help me be a better woodworker, much more accessible. Thank you for sharing this link. If you can get a kickback from Taylor Tools from me ordering with your code or something, please let me know because I will be ordering the 12 inch combo very soon. Thank you for sharing this awesome secret!

I just connect all corners of a square diagonally to find the centre

Honestly, when I began live as a mechanical designer, first thing I bought myself was a set of squares, a set of micrometers, steel scales and was talked out of buying a dial caliper by the guy at the store. He told me, get a Vernier Caliper and you will have it all your life, because no one will steal it. He was totally right, and once you get use to using it it's no slower to use than a dial caliper. I have actually walked off and left my calipers out on a machine, then went back and they were still there and they had been moved. picked up, looked at and put back down. Over the years guys have walked over and looked them over and asked why I haven't gotten a "good set" of calipers. I'd tell them, "Those ARE great calipers". I still have them.

@@OvertravelX Back in my machinist and mechanical engineer life I started with Mitutoyo dial calipers and mics. Inspecting sintered tungsten parts destroyed my steel dial sets so I invested in a 12" digital set with carbide jaw inserts: cost me $425 back in 1996... but I still have and use that set. I later picked up a set of 6" Etalon dial calipers out of curiosity, I like them alot too.

one word.... Woodpeckers! their layout, t-squares, DelVe squares for joinery layout, and saddle squares simply cannot be beat. Review that.

Just bought a PEC blem 4" double...out of everything else seems like. I know this is an older video, but was just about to pull trigger on a few iguaging squares (because I'm cheap). Thanks for talking me down.
