Dude. I use a combo square at least 10 times a week and I NEVER knew that knob looking thing on the end was a scribe. Two minutes in and learning. Bravo.

I love the Veritas square. In my shop, my dad's, and my grandpa's, it is known as the Most Used Tool. Great videos, thanks for all the effort you put in for education.

It's great to see you using the 1-2-3 blocks. I came to woodworking as a retired engineer and toolmaker, so I naturally bought my engineering skills and tools with me. 1-2-3 blocks (they also come in 25-50-75mm size) are incredibly versatile. I even use them for setting up jointer blades along with a DTI and scribing block. I have 6mm stud with a couple of nuts for joining the blocks together - extending the range of 150mm calipers for instance. They are the sort of tool you are forever finding new uses for. BTW They are totally affordable from the likes of wish and bangood, and easily spec'd well enough for wood, and acceptable for metal. I have an Incra square but never really use it. I don't like the sloppy fit of the nuts in the T-slot, and even with my closest reading glasses I can barely see those tiny holes, and the pencil mark is so fine you can't see it anyway. A nice idea, but not practical. I might invest in the Veritas square. I own about a dozen (probably more) squares, and was disappointed to find that none of them stand up to tool shop inspection checks. In fact my most accurate square is a Starrett combination set - that surprised me seeing as it comes to bits and has moving parts, even if it _was_ made by Starrett. The worst square I have came from Wish.com and was sold as a Precision knife edged machinist square. Not only was it a long way from being square, the inner and outer were not even parallel, and by something like .05mm if memory serves,

Love the video as always! One thing I've found really annoying is clamping because my workbench doesn't currently have any vises. I'm always clamping random boards down to try and keep a piece stable while I'm planing another board up against it. I'm still trying to figure out a decent way to hold a board securely to try and cut dovetails, without having to clamp it so tightly that I dent the surface etc. So maybe a video around different ways of clamping different size boards without a vise? I recently watched a Diresta video about making a chessboard and saw the wedge method with one wedge screwed into the bench and the other tapped between the piece and the first wedge to clamp it. Stuff like that would be awesome. Thanks man, love all these videos, cheers!

@katzmosestools 5 жыл бұрын

Not sure there's more than two ways to clamp a board to cut dovetails. Either to the face of your bench with a clamp or a vise. Check out my video on a moxon vise

@phragmunkee 5 жыл бұрын

+1 for a clamping video! If it helps, I'm using a 2'x4' folding table as a "bench", so clamping can be interesting. If your bench has a little overhang you can clamp a 12-24" length of 2x2 stock to the very edge of the bench. Then you can clamp stuff vertically to that (see imgur.com/wvKFMLf).

@bobt2522 5 жыл бұрын

A clamping video would be helpful. There are a lot of ways to secure your workpiece to a bench. Some of them hold the piece DOWN (clamps and holdfasts), some keep it from moving on the bench (dogs and wedges) and others hold the piece perpendicular to the bench (vises and 1-2-3 blocks). Izzy Swan uses wedges to do a lot of his clamping. I watch several craftsmen so I can see different solutions to the same problem.

I love these Essential Woodworking Skills videos! I've been looking at getting a few planes, but I'm very confused on which ones I need and how to properly use them. It would be awesome if you could make an Essential Woodworking Skills - Planes edition video. I look forward to seeing more videos in 2019. -Ed

I know you disagreed with Garrett but he is right, that's a combination square.

@katzmosestools 5 жыл бұрын

Its also a tri-square.

@spazboy3539 5 жыл бұрын

@@katzmosestools Both of you are right. One of the functions of a combination square is as a try square. A try square is for "trying" if a piece is straight or square. Combination square just has other awesome functions, too!

@phragmunkee 5 жыл бұрын

You kept using the terms "try square" and "combination square" interchangeably. I believe your engineer square is closer to a try square, and a combination square is a combination square. However, jargon is jargon and not an exact science! I noticed a speed square was missing from your arsenal. I use mine like it's going out of style, mostly because I find it a little easier to grip than a combination square. That being said, my 6" combination square is by far my favorite. And if anyone is on the fence between a Veritas marking gauge and the one you show in this video, I'd recommend saving the money and getting the one in this video. The Veritas one is very nice and might be worth the expense if you find yourself needing the dual marking side of it, but I don't. I should have bought the cheaper one at about half the price!

Disagree on tri vs combo but semantics. Not a fan of speed squares but can appreciate what you're saying. Cheers bud

@GMAN420BC 5 жыл бұрын

I think a tri square is shaped like a "T" where as combination square also acts like a protractor as well as a tri square.

@nixonwu1754 5 жыл бұрын

Do you recommend a 6" or 12" combination square if I could only buy 1?

@katzmosestools 5 жыл бұрын

a 6" is way more useful and you can flip it if needed

Is there a draw back to going with an engineers square with measurements (like in examples link below) vs the one without markings shown in your video at 2:26min mark? It seems adjustable with markings would have greater use. Adjustable: www.amazon.com/PEC-7105-406-4R-Double-Square/dp/B0002FTQVC Fixed: www.amazon.com/Swanson-Tool-TS152-8-Inch-Hardwood/dp/B000VYJ93O
