Using a carpenters square - what the numbers are used for . Trueing a square ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something. "Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." |

Thanks for sharing, Coke. I am definitely not on the top of my game in using squares. I picked up some good pointers from that video. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

I learned in high school wood shop how to true a square and always check one before any project. Bet nobody that graduated in the last 20 can claim the same. ------------- Maximum use of available resources! |

I do S this video shows quite often but I always check the square with a 3-4-5 method if I find discrepancies. Doesn’t take much of a hump or dip in material to throw the square off. |

Hot to bring it back to square was a tip I had not seen before , guess always felt it was a tool and would stay where needed - then seen a lot of them at garage sales = probably why - go buy a new one - give the problem to someone else . 3/4/5 is how I squared up excavations when digging footings or a basement - set up batten board corner 3 ft back from excavation and do measurements - depth became a one person job once I bought a laser transit = way back I used a optical transit but had story pole fitted with a 60p pole barn spike to hold it while I optically shot depth. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

It must have been a STANLY level
 . Not sure when that brand took it in the diapers, but I will NEVER purchase a tool with the STANLY name on it  !! |

| the combo squares is what i'm always checking, since the slider part wiggles when the nut is loosened, for short markings it's fine, but not for anything past about 2 inches. |
