What happens here

Based on the measurements taken, design the wooden holders. The video shows two distinct designs: one for a framing square that slides vertically into a C-shaped holder, and another for a T-square that slides horizontally into a T-shaped slot or ledge. Using a miter saw or circular saw, precisely cut the wooden pieces (e.g., from plywood scraps or a common board like a 1x4 or 1x6) to the required lengths and widths for the backing and front/bottom components of each holder. For creating the specific slots, a jigsaw might be necessary for intricate cuts, or a router for clean dados.

Goal: Prepare all wooden pieces for the tool holders.
