Reference edge, reference edge, reference edge - now to remember it when I'm trying to cut and measure straight. Great videos and thank you for mentioning metric sizes as well for us Aussies 😎

Hurrah, as last YouTube champions the Machinist square. The cheapest true square available. Do forget to emphasize that holding the stock tight against the reference face is vital. With enough grip to lift the pair up, wood and square. I am subscribing.

I always say, if you are going to be squaring up or 'framing' then buy a jig =they're not that expensive and will save hours of time wasted, of course if it's just the occasional square etc then watch and do accordingly. Also buying a straight edge or edges in metal can help enormously, again not that expensive. A decent metal square is not going to be problematic like a wood edge can be.. even after you've worked hard to make it square! Heat can warp the timber, dropping or accidentally slicing into it etc etc.. If the edge is NOT so critical on your cut and you simply want to use the timber edge as a ref re router / circ saw etc then fine.. Great vid as always and yes so right when you say that if you ignore or fail to realize an error re the shape you can end up tower of babel 😨🤣🤣uhh bricking it.. 🤣👀 👍
