What happens here

This DIY project demonstrates a clever and accurate method for drawing a perfect 45-degree angle on a piece of material using only a framing square and a pencil. By marking equidistant points along the square's arms relative to a reference edge, one can reliably create a diagonal line that bisects the 90-degree corner, eliminating the need for a dedicated speed square or protractor for this specific angle.

Do you need to draw a 45-degree line and you only have a framing square? Let's get after it. Take your framing square, line it up like this. Let's mark it at 8. Move it over. I like to move it up a little bit, and I'm going to mark this one at 8. Now, all I'm going to do is just connect the dots. Just like that, we can take our speed square. Perfect 45 every time. It's Friday. I got some beers to go drink. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
