Thanks for the shout out. Bob Rozaieski is the one who inspired me how to do these. Nice addition of the steps. When doing these by hand I v-notch the mortise so I can adjust that interior angle on the initial glue up with either a mallet strike (dents corner of V) or file/chisel shaving (to remove corner of V). But, that doesn't' really matter as that's the angle you can't adjust easily so shouldn't really use.

The Try in "Try Square" Is not short for Triangle! It is a hold over from when it was common to say Try instead of test or see if that is flat and square! To Try a surface is the same as checking it for some attribute!

Thanks for this video. I'm going to have a go at this. Do you ever see squares without the protruding step part? And are you wearing wooden shoes? Clogs?
@WoodByWright2 жыл бұрын
You can make squares with both beams being the same thickness. Just using a bridal joint. However, it makes it harder to set up against the side of a board to mark across it. Which is the most common use for a try square. Yes, I wear wooden clogs in the shop. Most comfortable shoes you'll ever wear when you carve them to fit your foot exactly. And they're protective. So when things fall off the bench I don't have a problem with it.

You mean if I subscribe to your channel, I won't see you falling on a certain name brand mattress with a huge advertising budget, or hearing about books I can listen to by another company that has a huge advertising budget? Count me in. I subscribed. I'm so sick of hearing about those two certain brands on most of the other channels nowadays. I like the way you don't expect everyone to have a table saw, band saw, scroll saw, lathe, CNC milling machine, laser cutter, laser printer, 24k gold mallet(this one is a joke, but you get the idea) and everything else I cannot afford and do not have room for on my little kitchen woodworking bench. Yes, my woodworking bench is in the kitchen. I resented that the kitchen was so huge and that the kitchen and living room were one long room. When I am in the living room, I don't want to see the dishes, even if they are washed already, or the stove/oven. I want to enjoy my living room. So, I made a sort of separator with a woodworking bench so I can finally have fun in the kitchen. I'm no Martha Stewart. I don't see a kitchen and think fun. I see a kitchen and think a whole bunch of work that will disappear in about 10 minutes after I spent hours cooking it. So, I remedied that with my little woodworking bench. I'm going to go to watch some more of your videos. I love and prefer hand tools to power tools. I got a few power tools, but the only power tools I use are my drill and my belt sander and that is only in the beginning. I am the one person in the world who likes hand sanding. Or at least everyone else seems to hate it. It's a lot of work, but the results are nice. I wish I could afford higher than 1500 grit sandpaper. I love it when the wood starts to shine like that. I can't stop looking at it when it starts really shining, especially pine. The resinous parts of pine will shine more than the none resinous parts. I love that look. I just wish I knew how to dye or stain pine so that the red parts stay red and shiny and the white or yellow wood part dyes a solid color. If anyone knows how to do that, I would love to learn. And thank you for showing a better way to use boiled linseed oil. I got some for my guitars' fretboards and after seeing all the warnings about spontaneous combustion, I started getting a little too paranoid to use it very often, except on the guitars. I had no idea you could apply it with your fingers and cut out that watching a paper towel or shop rag for days or putting it in a can of water (I can never find good cans, it seems) until you are pretty sure it is not going to catch on fire. Brilliant.
@WoodByWright6 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I made the decision a couple years ago not to take sponsorships for the channel. A few companies will send me free products but I never use them unless I want to use them in a project and even then I don't push the product I just mentioned. For staining or dying Pine you should use a pre sealer first that will fill the pores so that you get a much more even finish. And most of the big box stores it's called a pre stain. But you could also use a thin layer of shellac to do the same thing. Thanks for the great note
