Another Framing Square post

Wow. What an amazing little book. I love to read the 19th century prose- it makes our own conversations seem crude and uneducated.
Thanks for sharing this book with us1

Well, thanks, Gary. I have a weakness for these old books. Guess I’ll be sitting around reading this for a while.
This is one of the best I’ve seen on the framing square. I thought I had seen just about everything that you can do with a square, but from looking at the table of contents, there’s even more. Great post!

Thanks for the post Gary. Even though I have 4 of these I am still learning things about them and how to use them.

Thanks, Gary. I’m with MyronW. I like the old texts.

Hey Gary;

To bad they didn’t have levels. The original drawings for the pyramids were found recently. They were trying to build a highrise.

Thanks Gary!

I used to have a large blueprint of my Dad’s with all of the uses for a square. I can’t seem to find it.

It must be like my square, it seems to hide on me when, even when I’m using it. I set it down, & turn around, & it’s gone. ;o)

Man I thought that I was the one with gremlin hiding my tools on me! I hate having to go get the wife to help me find a tool that I just laid down not 30 seconds ago!
