In the second, and final, part of this project series you’ll learn how to assemble the blade and handle so they’re perfectly square. This requires a shop-made assembly block, and glue with a longer open time, to make sure everything is perfect and the square is reliable. Once the blade and handle are assembled, we’ll pin them together with brass rods, which adds a great detail. A coat of finish, and the wooden try square will be ready to use, and show off.

    Great videos - Thanks for sharing. One question though: The clamping wedge you made looks like it doesn't have a notch at the point of the 90 degree point. How did it not get glued to the try-square with the squeeze out?

    A simple yet unique tool that most amateurs can accomplish!! The description calls it a "Try Square" and I believe that it should be a "Tri Square". Aside from that, a great idea!!
