Duuuuude this guy is the fucking shit. That trick to knowing if a square is square just changed my life. Holy crap. So simple but so sensible. Dope.

[@sedgetool]

Wow..Thanks !!

[@steven6068]

Hi Sedge, like you show… It is great to see how you break everything down.. Now, for someone who is retired can you suggest products that are from this world. Not like the smaller companies who have gotten bit by the Festool “mark- everything -up-4x” flu. All the products are great but unaffordable. Thanks, Steven

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great tools. I I have the smaller TSO Triangle and I love it. I use it way more than I originally expected. No woodpeckers yet. One day….

[@sedgetool]

Right on

[@mikeking7470]

Great tools don't have to be expensive but cheap tools can be VERY expensive. I like it. And for those of us that don't have your money (LOL) Bora makes cheaper versions of all of those (also good, I checked) and the Chinese engineer squares will get you there, too. Just use ONE SET of tools, don't keep jumping around.

[@sedgetool]

cool

[@michaelnorman5640]

I’m not gonna argue with some of the comments but Sedge somehow we know when money is well spent you don’t have to have every expensive tool but but what works in your craft is what counts! Love it keep up the great videos and always thanks for sharing!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks for sharing

[@williamsmith9026]

I have the woodpeckers delve squares I was going to use for layouts. Problem is all I do is break pencil lead (with the supplied pencil in the square case) the whole time. I tried using other pencils but, the holes in the square don't allow for it. Way too sensitive for my skill level I reckon. Those things were pricey and I can't use em. Seems you fly right down the boards with that saddle square. How no breaky pencil lead?

[@sedgetool]

I use 9mm mechanical pencils ...

[@jeremyroberts4455]

There's a difference in marking and mocking also...can anyone tell me how a mock has anything to do with woodworking...He definitely pocks his cah in da yod on top of sod...😂😂😅

[@sedgetool]

Thanks...

[@joseescoto9069]

I’ve really like using my marking gauge instead of those pocket rules. In order to make it easy to see I run my pencil in the cut line. I bought the titemark from the lie Nielsen site. Love it!

[@sedgetool]

very cool

[@shaunadams5201]

Hey Sedge, iv'e been watching your videos for a couple years now and really appreciate the education. I'm about to take on a huge closet shelving build and wanted to pick your brain on how to go about incorporating screw stretchers on the walls with an open back. I watched the video on the connector system you did (great vid btw) would you just use a couple of dominos to tie in the stretchers (screw strip) to the back of the vertical panels?? If so how would you gauge the 18-19MM offset bc of the horizontal panel? I'm trying to sharpen my brain lol. Again thanks for all of the education. 25 years as a trim/finish carpenter and I'm feeling like i need to catch up haha.

[@kevinbrooks783]

Starrett 12" Combo Square Classic

[@sedgetool]

cool

[@JameysVideos]

I’ve been looking for a good centre marking tool recently, watched this and thought I’d found the one but I’m in the UK and Bridge City don’t ship internationally. Anyone know UK-friendly alternatives?

[@sedgetool]

I do not ....

[@andydrew2366]

Do they still make the saddle t6/150?

[@sedgetool]

I think so

[@WLNLW]

I love my sashigane, a Japanese carpenters square made of spring steel that has mm, 1/10th and 1/16th inches, 4" depth guage, and a root-2 ruler for miters. Some also have a pi-ruler for getting circumferences from diameters instantly. There is a ton to it, from the special profile to tricks with the root-2 ruler, and I feel wicked smaaht when I use it, haha! It's basically a geometric calculator.

[@sedgetool]

will definitely check it out !!!

[@warrensmith2902]

El Cheepo here, great tips Sedge. I use my Rockler offset/center finding jig for finding dead center the few time I need it. Since I'm using mostly plywood or wood under 2" wide, it works great. For a lot of work, I have a small Milwaukee Carpenter's square that has an off set base of 1/4" & 3/8'. It's great for laying out brad or screw lines quickly on the edge or end of plywood. For longer lines I keep my TSO Rail square on a shorter pieces of track from my track saw kit. I also keep a metric saddle square in my LR32 kit as well. And no work gets done in the shop without my trusty FastCap "Yellow" 16' tape measure near by. The "Other" Warren from Caldwell Idaho.

[@sedgetool]

Love my Fastcap tape too.....

[@jamiealexander1185]

Besides what you mentioned. Woodpeckers Tool 1812 or 2616 squares and Woodpeckers t squares. I also have and use Woodpeckers MT Center Gauge for mortise and tenon plus center marking. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Stay safe everyone.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks for the tips!

[@karenkrone6156]

Thank you for your teachings. I use all these tools and for this moment,( before my next miscut...) I feel a tiny bit Sedge-Level.

[@sedgetool]

wicked cool !!

[@AF-O6]

Where do I find the mechanical pencil you’re using in this video? I do love how you make absolutely everything about woodcraft fun and exciting!

[@sedgetool]

It is a Pentel .9. amzn.to/4bzgRSg

[@Benmeglei1]

To anyone wondering, that self centering jig he showed is from bridge city and it most likely cost more than the other tools he showed. Combined.

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@Mike--K]

@Benmeglei1 Not even close. You should do a little research before you post stupid statements.

[@agentchodybanks9120]

Bridge city is not a company for real professionals

[@Benmeglei1]

@@Mike--K you’re right, I was looking at the universal drilling jig. No beef, no beef.

[@Mike--K]

@@Benmeglei1 🙂

[@joebeaton1101]

Great intel!! Love the self centering marking jig!! Keep the tips coming!!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks, will do!

[@kenerickson4923]

Who knew someone with a Boston accent used metric. 😮

[@sedgetool]

🤣

[@AB-nu5we]

I've got the Woodpeckers's Saddle squares and the Bridge City center finder tool. Both are excellent tools. The saddle squares really shine when using a marking knife. The center finder is nice because, unlike a lot of other center finders, this one has a much wider opening for thicker pieces of wood. Great recommendations Sedge.

[@agentchodybanks9120]

The saddle square is aluminum and shouldn’t be used with a marking knife

[@sedgetool]

Thanks !!!

[@AB-nu5we]

@@agentchodybanks9120 I've never had any problems when using it, or any other aluminum measuring device, that way, but it's a good thing to keep in mind.

[@barriowoodworks]

Sedge, which bevel gauge do you prefer ?

[@sedgetool]

my go to bevel gauge is a very old Stanley ... I also like the Lee Valley one

[@Eldalion99999]

too bad all of those are insanely expensive

[@sedgetool]

worth the $$$$$$$
