- How to make a square and a miter square without a square. today we are making a miter square set with Walnut, White Oak and old-growth Ebony. I want to show how to make them without using another square. you can also use this method to check that your squares are actually square!

I had no idea carving could be so easy. Thanks again for the amazing content!
Thanks John. I have a whole series of videos showing it and how to get started. It is incredibly easy with an hour or so of practice, and it adds so much to the work.
Not enough positive comments on this gentleman work. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
thank you. that means a lot!
Beautiful Job James!
Thanks again for the awesome content and a great project.
Thanks, great video!
Great Work James!!! Well Done!!! Thank You For Sharing!!! 👍😎😃
Love the video - beautiful work!!!
Thanks man!
Beautiful work. I always find myself smiling when watching you - so kudos for sharing the joy. 😀
They are things of beauty. Hope you have a Great Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for all the stuff you gave us over 2020. Bring on 2021.
Beautiful! Looks like a fun, fairly easy project. It helps having metric/Japanese chisels, 6mm is perfect for doing 1/4" mortises. 🤙
I was able to watch a little of the live you had going to help out Anne of all trades, and its so cool to see the final outcome and kind of the raw live... very cool.
(And great work as always)
that was a lot of fun!
Beautiful work, James! Really fantastic looking squares! 😃
Thanks a lot for all the tips!
Happy birthdays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Absolutely fantastic! Although no where near as good i made a 2ft long square out of plywood and used the same draw a line technique to square it up. Works brilliantly. You've inspired me to make a mitre square now to add to the collection 🍻
Thanks James wish you and family merry Christmas happy new year’s loves the video hope to see you again at the peach meet 👍❤️🙏
I hope I can make the peach meet, but we will see.
That finish makes James hapbony! :D
This is about my 4th video of yours(spoke shaves and then this), liked it, but I feel like you skipped the setup of the board with the layed out lines for rough squaring and 45deg ing... and that seems to be the part where the "magic" happens... the part of the process I was most interested in learning... the laying out of a square without a square.. the tuning was important, but getting the board square to layout the squaring lines feels like a "oh it's just turtles all the way down" moment...
the carving trick was awesome btw. Thanks.
Thanks Eric. I didn't want to go to in-depth on that particular point in this video as I have an entire video dedicated to that one small section of it. There's a link in the description if you want to see it.
I am from Bangladesh
I hope you'd play Chopin on 5:12
So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘
Next make optical spuar 90 degree
Beatiful work as always. But how can check an inside 90 degre when the thin beam is in the way? sry for bad english.
with a try square you can check inside by resting it on the main beam and looking along the strait edge. it does not actually fit inside the angle. A carpenters square can fit inside an angle but a try square can not. that being said most modern metal try squares cut off the tail so that they can fit in.
i like to work with pine and maple. :)
sorry man!
@@WoodByWrightHowTo is ok. i like any wood that i can use it to build stuff :) here in germany, except pine, any other wood is expensive :)
Traditionally those would be made without the dowels and using hide glue. makes it easy to (re)adjust or even take it completely apart for a further makeover.
James: Here's the finished squares and they look great! Anyway, we're going to use walnut and white oak.
Me: oh man that's gonna look so good
Also me: he literally just showed them brain what's your problem
Lol I do that all the time too.
Do you ship to Australia on your shop? everywhere who sells card scrapers and burnishers are sold out here
Yes. I'll ship anywhere in the world.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo awesome now i really can't wait to make me a burnisher handle thing
I may be a bit dense, but when you're planing your timber, you don't have a square, as you're making one, so how do you check your edges are square to your Face?
For pieces this small you can just eyeball it.
lol@ "Jaw Vices"
Only the best here.
I've got one little technical gripe with makings both the square and 45 at the same time. You need a 90° reference to make the 45° tool. The general statement is that the inverted comparison method against a reference angle of x° gives you a x/2° tool. You can always generate a 180° reference from nothing via the 3 plate method. That raises the more general question: can you create an arbitrary angle tool (particularly an odd number) by dividing and adding a set of reference angles? If you could get to 1° it would work. I suspect it isn't possible because you end up with fractions, and the only way to add up enough segments to eliminate the fraction requires the same number of divisions that produced it so you end up with the number you started with. Either way, I don't have the math to say one way or the other. This would be a good question to ask the Numberphile channel.
This seemed interesting to me, because I like straightedge and compass constructions. Turns out that it is not posable to get to any angle you want. though you can get to any 1/2 of 180, and any 1/3 of those with enough effort it would seem. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_trisection
That is why I make both at the same time. You can use the 90 degree to then find the 45 degree.
The way to divide a 180° line, is with a compass/dividers and a string (or another straightedge). Set the dividers at any distance you want, the greater the more accurate in the end. Place one tip on the line and scribe an arc on both sides. Then open the dividers even farther. Scribe 2 arcs from the intersections you made with the first arcs. The 2 arcs will meet above and below the original lines. If you draw a line between the 2ndary intersections you just made, you will have a line exactly 90° from the initial reference line. To divide the 90° angle into 2 45's again use the dividers to scribe an arc from the 90° vertex. Then scribe 2 more arcs from the intersections of the arc with the 90° lines. A line from that intersection where the 2ndary arcs meet to the 90° vertex will perfectly bisect the right angle. Hopefully I didn't confuse you.
@@rhpsoregon That's correct, you can always divide an angle in to two parts and you will get 90°, 45°, 22.5°, 11.25°, 5.625°, etc. The question is if you wanted to get a number like 11°. Since you can only work with the set of numbers you get by bisecting, is there a combination of those numbers you could add or subtract to get to an arbitrary angle? If you could get a 0.25° wedge you could subtract that from the 11.25° wedge but the closest in the set is 0.17578125°.
Ahem... 3, 4, 5 pythagorean theorum, 3" mark, a 4" mark then 5" between them is dead nuts square. for a 45 you'd look for a 2.5" measurement between your marks

Can you make a square using mental and wood
sure you can. here you go. th-cam.com/video/5uzpSp2IAbk/w-d-xo.html
29th.
Pythagoras would also like using a 3,4,5 triangle to check for square
Pythagoras was a genius, but that only works if you have a ruler, AND you need a way of getting that 90° angle in the first place. With the way I described, you can get a 90° angle with only a pencil and string (using the string instead of the dividers to scribe the arcs). The 3-4-5 method is a lot better in verifying a square angle than making one.
@@rhpsoregon true enough I suppose, but if you're double pinning the blade then you can just pop one pin in and pivot to get that 90, was just another way of getting square without a square
There are a bunch of mathematical ways to check for square, but I like the way i showed best as all I need is a pencell no math, string, ruler or compas needed. but that is what makes the sport so fun. there are a hundred ways of doing it.
As Mr. Lewis told me in the 80's, "It's hip to be square!"
Your wife clearly needs to read a geometry textbook
What?
@@WoodByWrightHowTo If she thinks you are square
Biggest thing I like about maple is that I have a virtually unlimited quantity of free wood. At work we dispose of a large quantity of heavy duty skids. I just harvest the best bits and pieces and leave the junky stuff.
that would be a big benifit!
I have scrub oak and ponderosa pine in my yard and am trying to use those free materials.
You used a square.....uggg!
You sound like George Lucas.
First
woot woot. congrats on first!
