That was, by far, the most informative, easy to understand YouTube instruction use video I've ever watched in my life. And what a great idea to add some postive reinforcement at the end.
What a great instructor/teacher you must be. Thank you very much, sir.

*And what a great way to encourage others to indirectly communicate to those that watch instructions videos, that we're not using tool's wrong. That instead to troubleshoot a solution with the tools we have.
Well said, sir

I inherited a combo square from my grandpa. It sat in the bottom of my toolbox for 20 years before I found a reason to use it (I'm not a super big project kind of guy), but it came in handy when I finally needed it to rebuild a wooden fence gate.

So many channels spend too much time gabbing, making jokes, not to mention cinematic intros. lol I prefer to get in and get out with the info I need vs. hang out for the day. I like your style because you SHOW what you are talking about vs. just talking about it and THEN demonstrating it. Great job. On another note, I have a quick question: If you were to choose one, would you get a speed square or a combination square? Do I need both? II am interested in woodworking, not carpentry.

I didn't realize my whole life that this is a tool that I miss most!!!!:)

The scribe tool is used to scratch into steel plates. To cut using torch for later. Iron workers use this too everyday to get 45° angles on a plate and make cuts.

Thanks for the concise and professional presentation. Now I can use my set square with confidence!

[CrezymedJohn]

I bought a combination square not really knowing what it does. I'm so glad I watched this video!

[richiepyke]

So glad I came across your channel. Bought one of these recently for something else and you showed me so many different uses. Especially my older miter saw. Thank you.

i been doing Construction for awhile but i never seen a video about the Combination Square As Well Explained As Yours!! thanks for Sharing

[tonygilbert]

Great information for a beginner like myself. Adding instructions on reinstalling the blade to the base would have been helpful too. Thanks again!

[ckpalaris]

I just bought my combination square. This video is very informative. Thank you!

[loydalexander]

Thanks for the video I use a lot of your educational videos to guide my self thru projects.just wanted to say thank you your a pretty good teacher and the way you explain things I get it pretty quickly. Thank you sir 🙏

[BrewCityRider]

Great information, although a bit fast paced for me 😁 I will have to re-watch a few times to soak it all in as I am not a wooder. Another use for this tool on the mechanics side of things, (which is why I got one, ) is to use it to set the offset on a harley spoked wheel. Set straight edge against the hub with the square against the side of the hub. Use the level for getting it just right, and then measure the distance from the hub end to the rim. Make spoke adjustments as needed to move left or right. there ya go!

Thanks! Starting out in a pipe trades foundation course and this was super informative and easy to understand. Cheers!

[jorgearenas]

Thanks Master... I´ve just discovered that marking pin... and understood the uses that you explain... Greetings from Medellin, Colombia!!!

[zanehargreaves]

Thank you for an awesome channel. Been wood working for about a year and appreciate the useful information....

Learned so much from this video.. Particularly the blade angle setup for the table

[MsStoneiy]

I came looking to see how a combo square worked, because I was going to buy just a plain old normal square to realign my daughter's wonky wardrobe. Now I'll get the combo square. Thanks for the video, it was informative and to the point😊👌🏾👍🏾
