I'm working on a project, and have determined that both of my framing

the 24" one is out of square by more than 1/32" of an inch, and the 12" is
off by half again or twice that much.
I need something bigger than the machinists square for woodworking, but I
certainly can't rely on the old fashion stamped steel ones from Home
Despot.
a squared + b squared = c squared?
If you need something bigger than a 24" square, but not very often,
then Pythagoras can help you out.
