That's a "one-of-these-days-I'll-get-around-to-it" project on my list. I'm sure that once I build one I'll wonder why I waited so long. Great to hear you were able to get around not having the "right" tools to build it. That's a reminder of just how resourceful woodworkers can be. Beautiful work on the try square, Bob!

These try squares are finding their way into shops, because they are super light, and very handy. I never thought about making one, until I read the articles by The Schwarz, too. Al Navas Bob,

Great try square, and equally great results! These try squares are finding their way into shops, because they are super light, and very handy. I never thought about making one, until I read the articles by The Schwarz, too.

I've got to disagree on saws, though, as I've never had any luck cutting anything with the new-style induction-hardened saws. Not sure why. While I have a couple backsaws, I also have an old saw, that I think was a 'youth' saw. It's about the size of your Stanley and I use it regularly. I'm waiting for the Feb issue of Pop Woodworking before I build some squares. The madrone makes a fine-looking square. Cheers --- Larry That’s one fine-looking egg beater you’ve got there, Bob.
