    Nice looking work, although I prefer to see much thinner legs of precision squares. The thinner legs are able to show squareness better. The thicker legs tend to not show light gaps as easily and tend to not be as sensitive. Just my thoughts. Thank you for posting!
    I have a few thicker precision squares that have chamfers on the edges for just this reason.
