I made a rectangle! With only hand tools! No power! No noise! And its pretty darn close to square to boot!
the picture is a little fuzzy—- I had a hard time taking a picture and holding the square at the same time. (I need to get a tripod.)
Just imagine the possibilities!

I sometimes can’t make it square even with power tools.

Congrats Betsy. Remember practice, practice, practice…...

I understand the feeling, it’s an epiphany. Now you’ll never be the same. You’ll demand more from everything you do because you ”know” that you can make it SQUARE! Happy trails.
always,
