I made these walnut and maple wooden try squares discussed in the excellent book, Tool-Making Projects for Joinery and Woodworking, by Steve A. Olesin. I highly recommend the book. I’m having great fun following along in his footsteps and learning a lot.
The third picture shows their accuracy; they are not perfect, but are close. I used the flip-test, where you draw a line, flip the square the other way, and draw a line right next to it to show the discrepancy in it’s angle. Close enough for my aboriginal skills! In my woodworking it’s not the square that is the problem!

Square is only a suggestion. But they look great, does it matter if they are square.

Really nice.
Tools for wood, made by hands and made of wood.
Does it get better?
