Framing square Friday #3

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Place the framing square on the plywood again, positioning it so that its edge connects the two marks you just made. One arm of the square can act as a reliable straight edge. Using the pencil, carefully draw a straight line connecting these two points. This line will accurately represent a 45-degree angle relative to the original straight edge of the material.

Goal: Draw the 45-degree line by connecting the two equidistant points.

Tools and materials

  • Framing Square — Serving as a straight edge to draw the line
  • Pencil BOSS — Drawing the 45-degree line
  • Plywood — The material with the drawn line

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.
