A framing sqaure that’s off by a tiny amount can ruin an entire project!

What happens here

Observe the two lines drawn on the flat surface. If the framing square is perfectly accurate, the two lines will be indistinguishable, appearing as one single, perfectly straight line. If the lines diverge (spread apart) or converge (come together), the square is 'out of true' and needs adjustment. The video demonstrates both scenarios.

Goal: Determine if the framing square is perfectly square

Tools and materials

Framing Square — The object being assessed for its 90-degree accuracy
Pencil — Used to draw the lines for visual assessment
Flat Surface — The surface displaying the lines for assessment

Line this edge up in the bottom here. Now if you have a straight line, that means that your framing square is square. If your [snorts] line does like something like this or your line does something like this don't worry, there's a way to fix that. All right, if you need to punch your square this way and close it in
