What happens here

After drawing the first line, carefully flip the framing square over. Re-align the same leg of the square tightly against the original straight edge of the flat surface. Ensure the square is perfectly aligned with the previously drawn line. Once aligned, draw a second line along the inside edge of the square's other leg.

Goal: Draw a second line to compare against the first

Tools and materials

  • Framing Square — To guide the drawing of the second line for comparison
  • Pencil — For marking the second line
  • Flat Surface — The surface on which the second line is drawn
