Squares I recommend (affiliate):
Starrett Engineer's Square (pricey, but worth it): amzn.to/2HflMMU

6 Inch Engineer's Square (my preferred size): amzn.to/2LDWNr8
Speed Square: amzn.to/2W2GjfU
Framing Square (mine is a Stanley, but this Starrett is very cheap and gets good reviews): amzn.to/2Q2lPP1
Try Square: All of mine are vintage and since I don't own any new ones, I don't feel I can recommend any.

A bit late but don't forget 'Little Ole UK' we love you across the pond.
England!
Carpenter here, not a woodworker. Do NOT buy a used framing square because they are often bent and not square. They aren't too expensive and if you are building a roof or stairs they are well worth the money.
Good point! A quick trick for checking square is marking a line, flipping the square over, and seeing if it lines up exactly or if the square isn't parallel anymore.
You can always re square the framing square with a punch and hammer
I'm from Thailand!, I love your wood working for human series : )
One of the main benefits of a speed square is that it's a very handy quick fence for circular saw cuts at 90 and 45 degrees. Set the square down on the board, put the saw blade on/next to the line and slide the square/fence over and make your cut. Can also be used for a hand saw
G'day form Australia, I am new to woodworking and have learnt a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work.

Hungarian subscriber here!
Thank you so much for your hard work showing us your knowledge about woodworking. Awesome content.
I wish all the best for you and your family.
Indian here! very late to the party but just bought my first tools and I'm going to build a mallet this weekend. Your videos help a lot!
Hello Rex, im an Indian living in France! I love your channel. And it has taught me a lot. I am a self taught passionate woodworking student. Its not my profession which allows me to do it with ease of mind. But i am so grateful for your way of explaining things and making them so accessible. Thank you!
I am from the Netherlands, learning a lot from your video's.
Another South African viewer here. I really enjoy the woodworking for humans videos - they're awesome! Keep up the great work!
Dear Rex, I am from Berlin, Germany. About two years ago I started to get interested in wood work, and I started watching a huge amount of youtube videos - and I learned a lot from them. Your channel is in my view the best combination of teaching, story telling and having fun! THANK YOU for your great effort to produce such high quality and instructive videos! I only have a small chamber for wood working - only 6 or 7 square meters - and use only a few electric tools: a screw driver, a stiching saw and sometimes a sanding tool. All other works I do manually. And I bought most of my (used) tools on ebay. Thus, your ideas and recommendations are really worthy for me. Thanks again!
I'm in berlin too! I kind of have a similar "shop" although I shouldn't dare call it that way. I also started recently, and although it's not my main activity, sometimes I think it could be interesting to find some contact to join forces with, perhaps for a laid back market project or simply friendly exchange of ideas or materials.
As someone who spent a year in Berlin (and frankly misses it... hopefully I'll be back one day), I'm glad to see it represented (even though I'm currently in the states). :) I look forward to seeing the 🇩🇪 on the wall at some point (even though I know there's a very different relationship to flags there than what we have here... heh.)
Your videos are always straight to the point, accurate, easy to follow and no nonsense. Keep up on creating amazing content! Huge thanks from Lithuania! 🇱🇹
I'm a Venezuelan living in Germany. Great channel, Rex!
Im an German living in Germany lol
Thankyou from Germany! With best regards from the Swabian Country.

Pistol Knight England is in the union, so I think it would be fine.
Love your no nonsense , simple approach to things Rex - oh and Australia!!
Watching your videos from Ireland! You are a great teacher, crystal clear.
Greetings from Malaysia, you're truly an inspiration. My heartfelt gratitude for you and all of the amazing content you've shared with us. Thank you very much!
Trinidad and Tobago. And I can see my flag on the sheets you held up!
I'm from Scotland. Thank you for making these videos, they're really useful.
Hi Rex - I’m a Brit living in Australia, so my allegiance to the flag depends on who is winning the cricket or rugby! Would be happy to see either flag on your wall. I have a couple of projects in mind for my workshop - a Union Flag (Union Jack) made of three different shades of wood, and a map of Australia, with each of the states and territories again in a different shade of wood. All made from reclaimed pallet wood, of course 😁😉
Keep up the great videos
Hi Rex,
I am watching from Scotland currently part of the UK. I am a retired wooden boatbuilder and own most of the old tools, especially wooden tools, some of them made many years ago and still in good “fettle”. I admire your style and find you very entertaining. Keep it up !

'Currently part of the UK'.... since 1707. Longer in the UK than the US has been out of the Empire.
From the rainy land of Ireland. Love the videos. Really enjoy the top quality and in depth explanations. Looking forward to see this channel grow. Thanks 👍🏻
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Love your laid back approach. Entertaining yet educational.
This video is probably one of the most useful videos I’ve watched in a very long time! Learned so much and it’s mostly because all info was explained thoroughly and not over complicating things!!!
Philippines! Thanks for the vid! Have been watching, rewatching, and will keep on them!
Hi Rex, this is The Netherlands, by far you are the best teacher on TH-cam! Thank you so much for your videos . I am new at woodworking and love making things by your example.
Truus Roling should teach at a local shop class for sure.
Denmark, and I´m enjoying your videos. Straight talk and useful knowledge
Hey Rex, love your vids, been woodworking a long long time now (40+yrs), and have yet to find a combo sq. fully accurate straight from the box! Keep up the great work, oh yes and greetings from England
Me and my wife are from Croatia. Love watching you, you have some really good videos over here!
Slovakia. I like listening your shows in the background, when I working on my projects .
An Aussie in Germany. Loving your work. Especially the new series!
Guyana,South America. Great videos to get me started in woodworking, appreciate the thoughtful topics.
Always watching from Canada! Thanks for being you. 🇨🇦
Poland! :) And about squares, my idea for best precision square is the square not from a fancy brand, but with a norm. In Europe it is DIN 875 (even lowest precision grade 2 is super precise). You can buy made in Europe square with angle precision of 0,03 mm (1/2-1/3 of human hair) for 10$. Way more precise than 99,999% of squares and cheaper than any "woodworker brand" square.
Can you suggest one on the US Amzon?
Started watching from Greece. Thank you!
Flavian from Romania, I`m new to woodworking and after following several different channels for a while and not learning much I found your channel. I really like the way you explain and show how things work. Really learning a lot from you, thank you !

hi 5 kabayan!!!
Really enjoy and appreciate your channels. Modified your $30.00 bench with straight doubled 2x4s, splurged on a one inch threaded rod, washer and nut and added a leg vice catty corner to the crochet. I drilled the chop before champhering to allow for dogs. Built two minis to match to help support sheet stock. Still have a few cutoffs left. Wahoooo!

So glad you acknowledge that you are Global! Love you topics and delivery. Roger from U.K.
Thank you so much for explaining the differences and uses of these tools.
I just built my first wall and hung my first door using the framer's square and a speed square.
But I would REALLY like to get into hand woodworking.
With your explanation, I think I will bite the bullet and get something high end, like the Starrett 12".
Thanks again!
You are a magnificent teacher; clear and concise! How do you not have a million subs?
