Squares (lay out squares)

[Philip Davies]

Making use of some very nice pine from the back of a wardrobe, I made these squares, one as depicted in antique prints, the other two which seemed pleasing to my eye.
Most of you know that, to try the square, you rest it on a straightedge, mark, flip it over and strike another mark. If the marks agree, the square is accurate. If not, plane off a bit!
