I vote "yes" for a vid about rehabbing old squares!

[@triune_blades]

Me too!

[@arthurrsaker8893]

You're a great teacher Josh, always a pleasure to hear what you've got to tell us about. Many thanks for taking the time.

[@CleaveMountaineering]

Dividers are great. I got a 12" vintage set, and finally figured out there was a micro adjust there all along!!! Also the gross adjust screw thread was stripped out, so I retapped larger, put a phillips screw in there, and more recently turned a thumb screw on the metal lathe for the gross and fine adjusts. Its a great tool. Squares are great too. Once I got the 4" double I really wish I had one in my apron when I was doing metal fabrication for work.

[@TheSkyIsCrying]

Yes, a video on rehab of an old square would be awesome.

[@07roadking43]

I also vote YES to rehabing a vintage square ive got a bunch that could use it !!!

[@finison1]

Yes please do a square rehab video. I have one of my grandpa’s very old squares that needs squaring as I’d really like to use it!

[@craigsilsbee4094]

Release the video! I welcome a rehab video for an antique square. Thank you for making quality videos And I especially love all the antique tools you continue to use.

[@BeaverCraftTools]

You have so many amazing tools in your woodworking school! Thank you for sharing useful tips on tool guides.

[@samla2404]

Awesome and honest video thanks for sharing. 😊

[@lawv.8424]

Going back to these classics..👍🏻🎩

[@haileymapes924]

I’d love for a good video about rehabbing old squares

[@wmstone3914]

Nice video... can’t wait for part 2

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks! Hopefully it will be out in about a week. Are you subscribed?

[@wmstone3914]

Wood and Shop indeed I am!

[@tomst9417]

thanks for some good advice on these simple and very useful tools. I must admit that I am baffled at how many modern manufacturers churn out poor quality tools that are mere facsimiles of the antique or vintage tools . Squares which aren't square are just scrap metal .

[@IntentionalGains]

Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us Josh. I'd love to see a video on truing and rehabing squared if you get time!

[@Bjornarp]

amazing narrative voice. warm cup of tea and Wood and shop video. => Zen

[@d_83nov78]

New to woodworking. Thank you so much for the lesson.

[@herenthere10]

Thank you for a simple and easy to understand video. I have found woodwork and the tools are subjective to a persons taste, ability, and money spent. All of which make woodworking enjoyable. It amazes me how so many gorgeous wood items were made with simple tools. Keep up the good videos and printed information. Id love to spend some time in your school and learn more!

[@mattydread6618]

Would love to learn how to square up an old antique square!

[@SajidHussain-lj5mr]

Wery nise wideo uplord 👍

[@watermain48]

Thanks Joshua for a great and informative video. A video on repairing an out of square try square would be great.

[@Orxenhorf]

One other handy feature you can find on some spring dividers is a quick adjust. If you take the pressure off of them, the adjustment nut will slide freely to the deired position, then you can let the pressure back on and twist it to fine adjust.

[@bryantengelke1566]

I have an 18” combination square and find it very handy.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic tips, Joshua! Thank you very much! 😃 I already have a few marking squares and so on and I recently made my very first marking gauges. 😃 It could be better, but well... It's beautiful looking and is going to work great for a while. 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@moc5541]

If your inexpensive combination square is out of square you may be able to bring it into squareness, as I did mine, by pinging the bearing surface with a machinist's center punch, just below the slot. Easy does it with the first blows or otherwise you'll overshoot.

[@AJ-lh1si]

Yes please do a video on restoring a try square.

[@TreeOfLifeWoodworking]

great videos and article! thanks for sharing

[@bestbuilder1st]

Good job on this video, very informative and unbiased

[@David-fv7zg]

I vote yes for a vid on rehabbing ....any tool.

[@faheemmajeed6848]

Thank you so much for introducing aspects of how to elevate the features, purpose and value for the money. You always bring up the hidden/ignore matters up in light.. Regards from Karachi. 💐

[@WoodAndShop]

Glad it was helpful Faheem! And glad to have you watching from so far away, my friend!

[@tacom51]

Your favorite sliding bevels with the decorative knobs were made by Disston.

[@Santos-oc2no]

great video, very usefull

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks Santos!

[@mskulls83]

Please do one on Ti-squares and combination squares and getting them back to square.

[@richardshort4587]

Could you please explain what the angled end is used for on the sliding bevel gauge thank you. God bless

[@lawrencerayborn6258]

Thanks First time viewing

[@athmostafa2462]

Yes pls about square to make it new for use 😊 .

[@dougcook1176]

For me to purchase a square it needs a published sqareness spec. Example a Starrett 12" combination is sqare to +/- .002". That way if you find it exceeds that you can take it back. Lee Valley is good at selling products that at least publish a spec.

[@daveklein2826]

Woodpecker tools do the same

[@nisarahmedsoomro1009]

Nice work I like and it's my ancestors work so I want to lrean can I?

[@erikgranqvist3680]

You can do lots with surprisingly little tools for marking and meassuring.

[@hazardousafe]

A rehab video for try squares would be awesome.

[@jimcollins1952]

My vote yes

[@alfa0mega74]

so you advice brands only if they sponsor you?!

[@garyknable1155]

Informative, very nice vid hmmmm

[@WoodAndShop]

Thanks Gary1

Off subject, but where can find your Moravian workbench videos???

[@daveklein2826]

[@Aduhwan]

Joshua/Everyone: I am considering the purchase of a Woodpeckers 1281 Precision Woodworking Square to supplement the combination square that I currently use in my woodworking projects. Woodpeckers claims that their 1281 is the most stable and accurate square on the market. The 1281 is currently on "sale" until early next month. Would you consider this square to be a good value and a worthwhile purchase for an intermediate woodworker?

[@WoodAndShop]

Nope, too expensive. I don't have one, and I'm able to get perfectly accurate joints with a $10-$20 square!

[@JeremyB8419]

I bet precision matters more with harder woods. Softer woods compress to fit. Does this seem to be true?

[@daveklein2826]

No

[@mikerangel1545]

I say wait till you find some old guy/wife selling his stuff at a garage sale. There's many gauges/saw etc. you will need depending on what your thinking is for that day. Anyways you will get a whole woodworking set that you can modernize as you see fit. Plus a lot of old tools are just made better.

[@ot9180]

Now I am totally lost. Can we start from the beginning?

[@pinkeye00]

Leave it to Beaver - you are swell, man.

[@adamtoth7474]

I giggle when I see people using woodpeckers. For some reason a lot of woodworkers think tools will make them better? But I get it at the same time、 I looooove tools. That's why I buy old quality 👌

[@daveklein2826]

Keep giggling. Woodpeckers is awesome

[@matthewszostek1819]

That was super boring and I could hear your throat and I loved it.

[@shohidurrahmansumon5134]

Please give me a job your your workshop

[@JeremyB8419]

Gotta be honest with ya... lot of advertisement in this video. Kinda a turnoff. Already liked, and subscribed. Kinda wanting to undo one of them

[@maplobats]

You must have watched a different video than the one I saw, which had no advertising.

[@daveklein2826]

Boo hoo

[@rootvalue]

The titling scheme of this channel has become pathetic. Expansion of market has become more important than retention. Enjoy a rotating audience who prefers clickbait and doesn’t know your name; it’s who you’re fishing for.

[@WoodAndShop]

Hakeem, this isn't a "tilting scheme". I have been meaning to make these tool guide videos for years, but they require an immense amount of time to make them, so I have postponed until now. Also, affiliate links are how I fund my work here, but I don't recommend anything that I don't believe in. And when the Coronavirus is over, you can expect more "normal" videos, like workshop tours.
