Framing Square Basics - How to use one.
MORE PROJECT AND TIPS: makebuildmodify.com/
In this video I cover the anatomy of a framing square. I go over all of the subdivisions, charts, and tables that appear on a few of the more common framing squares.
I also touch on the topics of roof framing and a few other uses specific to the information that is listed on a framing square.
Near the end of the video I demonstrate a few math and drawing tricks for finding the circumference and area of a giving set of circles.

    After 35 yrs as a carpenter I had always asked why the young men aren't getting into this trade as I've always been proud of the trade and skill that I had learned over the years. A light bulb went off in my head and I just realized that the amount of geometry and advanced math that is involved with everything I do apparently isn't being taught in schools and those that try to enter this field are left frustrated to understand what we've kinda took for granted as "it's just part of the job" sorta thing. Here I was thinking this was general tool knowledge but I am pleased that you had the foresight to share this info with others that wanted to learn it. In my specialty, I do spiral walls, stairs and radius or elliptical vaults....since there is such an interest in our trade, if you know, you might give a video on Ptolemy's therom and it's relationship to our trade. If you like, message me and I'll give you the general break down and how I use it in my work.....great video.

Nothing says one can't study music appreciation and geometry both or any other subjects for that matter. If there were no interest or need for various subjects they wouldn't be taught or sought to be learned.

    Not to beat a dead horse but that doesn't sound like any school system with which I'm familiar. It is the responsibility of a school system to provide an education for all the students within its jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the citizens and parents to oversee the school system and its effectiveness. Ultimately, it is the citizens and parents who determine the type and quality of education students receive. Beyond state requirements for an education, and any required classes for a particular curriculum, students can usually take whatever classes they want in schools I'm familiar with, and I suspect that can be said about most in the US.

    There are no more "Master Carpenters". There are Master Electricians, but that designation was done away with in carpentry. I am a "Journeyman", and that is the highest designation. There are some "self proclaimed" masters, but it is bogus. We also don't make moldings with a Stanley 55 hand plane anymore. It is done with modern machinery. .

    GREAT VIDEO on the many uses of the ever-useful FRAMING SQUARE. I started as a apprentice in 1973 and had an amazing Foreman as my mentor. He must've like me because he never made me feel stupid asking questions. A lot of the time we didn't have the time at work so we would meet after work at his home. His wife was always friendly and brought us cool lemon-aid and sandwiches. I married their middle daughter in 1975...still together today. Anyway, to make a long story short he taught me to become an accomplished Journeyman and eventually a Foreman and 8yrs later a Project lead. Your video is spot on and thanks for the time you took to expertly explain and show these useful technics of what some call a scary tool. It was used by nearly every decent carpenter and some had more than one with different personal scribes for different tasks. I wore out more than a couple over the years...lines and numbers just wear out over time, or accidentally get even slightly bent rendering them useless. You just don't bend or hammer them straight and expect them to be accurate again. I applaud you and your skill teaching the new guys/gals and refreshing others of the multiple uses of the Framing Square. AGAIN, GREAT video and Thanks for a walk down memory lane...Ha ha ha.

Your Video here is one that all should see if only to get a feel for how comprehensive construction can be made easier with the proper knowledge and use of such tools as the Framing Square. American was founded and built on the trades so no one should look down on them...or where would we be without them as a whole? We need more good tradesman (including more and more ladies) to sustain our great nation so with people like you TEACHING the future we still have some promise.

I'm retired, old, busted up but still have a great memory so maybe I'd be able to pass some of this off on my 3 grand sons and one grand daughter that's showing a great interest in Mathematics. I was able to do hypotenuse of triangles in my head, that and square root, which was a great help when setting forms.

I wish I had learned all of this because I find it fascinating. Now I'm $20 grand in debt looking for jobs that don't exist. I just don't get the stigma that builders, tradesmen, etc... are low brow, ie stupid individuals.

    I'm an engineer, educated to masters level, but dumped engineering and chose to work as a self employed builder. It gave me freedom from stupid bosses, and to work when and how I pleased. However, I was often annoyed, when my customers treated me like some sort of idiot, especially when I was doing work that they had neither the intelligence or the skills to do. One particular customer decided to get ''clever'' and decided she would not pay me for additional dry rot work, because I'd, ''damaged her gas pipe'' which was rusted through, and I'd traced it because I could smell gas in the basement. However, the job was to construct a 'through lounge' by forming an opening in a load bearing brick wall, on the ground floor of a three story building in London, and inserting a steel beam, but when I removed the covering plasterboard, I found it had already been done, and just covered with plasterboard, so she was due a refund of about a £1000, which I didnt pay her. The dry rot work came to £250! [Clever woman that!] I did everything, from chimney pots to foundations, interior or exterior. I've also worked as a forklift mechanic, fabricator/welder, Wireless tech in the RAF, and other various odd jobs. If you want a tip, get some training as a plumber, its a job thats always in demand, is relatively simple, as everything is visible, unlike electrics, also doesn't require practised eye to hand skills, AND, it cant be ''farmed out'' to India or elsewhere. Also it pays well! PS. Why do I call them ''stupid bosses''? Because they employ me to do a job, as I have the qualifications, and experience, (that they do not), and then want to tell me how I should do my job.

    Earned was an understatement. I am on information overload, mostly because I don’t do framing so essentially everything you said is a new concept. But your clear presentation of the information and your comfort with the information is great. I just subscribed

    I started fooling around with wood a few years ago.. and I learn and relearn so many things. I work by myself and don't have that third hand. Last year, I was making a frame for a table and was trying to get a tight corner fit. So I clamped a board on the inside of the frame and tapped it to corner joint. I just lightly tapped the clamped board.. and eureka.. it exerted the most amazing constant pressure on the corner. I'm sure it was easily 100s of pounds pressure. I learn things like this all the time.. carpentry is a mini applied physics course. Back to this tutorial.. if I see it right this is a 90 and two 45s.. so basically it's good old Pythagoras showing up. Loved the video. I never there were so many marks on the tools. Subscribed... When you have a slow day check my videos.

I have the Essential Guide to the Steel Square book by Ken Horner and it's fantastic, but I really like being able to see the concepts demonstrated. You're very clear in your presentation. I'd definitely buy a set of instructional videos for tradesmen if you decide to make them. 🍻 Cheers.
