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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins with the host introducing the problem: checking if a framing square is truly square. He then prepares a flat, stable surface, such as a whiteboard, on a workbench. This surface should have at least one straight edge to use as a reference.

Goal: Set up a flat surface for the accuracy test

Tools and materials

  • Framing Square — The tool whose accuracy is being tested
  • Flat Surface — A stable surface with a straight edge for drawing lines. A whiteboard is used in the video

What they say

Hide

Is your framing square actually square? Let's get after it. All right, now get yourself something square. Whether it's a piece of plywood, a table, whatever the case is, I'm going to be using a whiteboard. Now go ahead and push your square tight up against this edge here and just draw a line right here. Now take your square and flip it. Line this edge up in the bottom here.
