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.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

All of my square duties are do with a small square, I don't build
buildings.

I use a solid triangle type square for all of the adjustments around the
shop and on the shop tools. It has never failed me, and I use it all of
the time. It also has been dropped more that I would like to admit.
Based on adjustments made with this square I have made hundreds of
picture frames with perfect mitered corners. (Maybe not all "perfect"
but literally hundreds ;-) )
