Small Squares
a: 4 1/4in. by 3 1/2in. 45 degree parallelogram, a great tool I use often.
b: 3 3/4 in. saddle square from Lee Valley, again a tool that I bought years ago and use regularly.
c: small engineer's square 2 5/8in. by 1 13/16in. It lives on my drill press for insuring that the table is at right angles to the drill bit. I learned that lesson the hard way.
d: 3 1/8in. by 5in. engineer's square. I use it to make sure that the fence on my joiner is square. It lives with the joiner, that way it is easy to check and so I check often.
e: a pair of dovetail squares, an 8 and a 6 degree that are 4in. by 2 1/2in. They were a gift from a good friend at this recent box was the first outing for the 8 degree square. It is a nice little tool.
f: 4in. by 2 1/2in. sliding square. I saved this wee square from death by rust. I found it in the basement of our old house and it was totally a rusted mess, being a sucker for the underdog I set about cleaning it up and found my effort well served.
