Күн бұрынAntique Brass Carpenter's Square. [Full Restoration]
I found this beautiful antique brass carpenter's square at my local antique shop. It had been throughly abused and left for dead. I hate to see old things left to rot and I also needed a new square so it worked out as a great project to use on my future projects.
There was no makers mark on this carpenter's square but judging by the design and the use of brass I would assume it would be somewhere from the late 1800s to early 1900s. If you have any more infromation on this antique square leave me a comment.
Things were truly built differently back then. I have always had a love for brass tools and vintage tools of any kind. Vintage brass is just something you never see any more.

Albert J. Swanson in 1925, but people knew about the concept thousands of years ago, for example the blokes who built the pyramids etc. and so on....😊

I'm always less interested in restorations that use so many machines and products but this is a great job on something I'd have passed over as junk. Nice work.

Very nice. You could have also cut a new piece of metal to replace the rusty and pitted one, and then it would have polished up to perfection.

I definitely could have. I thought about it but I wanted to save the original piece as much as possible.

How do you know it is still square, after all the sanding, epoxying and polishing?

Great question. I checked it on a new square, although I did it off camera. I should have included that footage. Still learning this whole filming thing. Thanks for watching!
