Default Combination Square and other Metalworking Tools in WW Shop


THANK YOU!

That was a very informative and well put together presentation and I
learned some stuff from it that Id not known (which is a
lot..unfortunately)
Im now looking at my combination squares in a new light.

Well done Sir...Well done indeed!

I agree, great job with the presentation.

There is nothing like a good combination square... my father gave me one
when I was about 6 or 7, a (cast iron head) 12" Craftsman. To this day,
it's still square as can be, and considering it's had use several times
a week for almost 45 years now, still looks good. As far as I can
remember, it was the first tool I owned. (Believe it or not, I still
have the original little scribe in it! Still sharp too...)

I also have a crude hook rule I made from an old steel carpenters
square. Just wacked one of the legs way down... extremely handy at times
for general cobbling. They should sell them like that. Got the idea for
it here a while back, someone said they'd made one for welding use IIRC.
