Thank you Paul for taking the time to do this. You provide a GREAT public service.

66 years old and enjoyed learning from your video on how to use the speed square. Never to old to learn !

refreshing to watch a guy who knows his stuff but doesn't get a big head about it. Informative, concise, and to the point. Well done and thank you for explaining this in a way that a novice can understand!

I used to work for a lumber and hardware store and sold a thousand of these Swanson Speed squares!!! I never learned how to use one until watching your videos. Thanks for the great tips, Paul.

I just love the way you talk it's easy understanding you NOT LIKE THE OTHER GUY'S try to teach people that don't know how to use a speed square you make it a lot easier to understand thanks again Paul you're awesome.

Paul. You are one good teaching Craftsman !! Keep, giving myself and others, this badly needed hope.

awesome as always. you're like the dad we never had.

Paul is way better than the instruction book!!! this was awesome!

This was a fantastic tutorial on the speed square ! Excellent work, great pace and explained well ! It's never wrong to slightly over explain and repeat yourself - it helps to learn and reminds one of the basics as the video moves along ! A++++

I really enjoyed your two tapes, on the speed square.You are very clear in your instructions and concise. At 68 I am finally learning how to use the speed square. Keep up the good work and keep loving America, VHM

I have a couple of speed squares, but I simply used the to make square cuts. I had no idea there was so much information on them. Thank you very much for the instruction. You made it simple.

Thanks Paul. I just started watching your videos because they are easy to follow for beginners. I do not have a lot of power tools or tools at all for that matter. Believe it or not I'm 60 years old and never took the time to have a hobby. I regret it often, so now I'm getting ready to do some simple projects that keep me busy and hopefully can bring enjoyment to others. Thanks Again.

You were the only person that could teach me out of 50 videos!

Paul - I really appreciate your heart to help people and teach them the things you have learned over the years. I recently refinished all of my kitchen cabinets using your tips - sanded, primed (that spray can primer was amazing!), painted and finished with the Deft spray lacquer. Thank you so much - I must have watched those videos 10x each to get it just right!

Thanks Paul. I always like the way you experts make things look so easy. Take care.

Hey Paul. Hi from Canada. So thanks for the Great SPEED SQUARE videos . It's good to have a refresher course. If you don't mind, Please enter me for a speed square and booklet. Please keep the videos coming , I like the NO babbling bullshit, that a lot of videos out there that seem to be made just to hear themselves yap. It's OBVIOUS you have worked in the trade. So thanks for passing off your knowledge to us.

Excellent video, the Swanson book is good but actually seeing how the square is used just makes life easier.

Thanks Paul, your instruction is the easiest on KZread to understand because, your building at the same time. Starting my first backyard shed build and the knowledge has given me faster and correct building methods to cut down on trial and error. Looking forward to learning more with you. Thank you!

Informative, helpful and very well presented! Been using Swanson's Speed square since 1990 and still learning, so thanks!

Great Video! I'm a cabinet Engineer in California. I been building cabinets for 20 years and never truly knew how to use one. Thanks for all the helpful info. Keep up the great job!

Awesome!!! Very helpfull, I never knew how to use the speed square until watching you explaining with ease. GreatJob again keep up the good videos.

Thanks for sharing Paul, it's a lot easier to understand by watching than reading for me and I really appreciate your taking the time.

Hi John, I am the same way, I like visual learning myself! Glad I could help and have a good day! Paul

Always good to see videos on how to use tools. Took me a long time back in the day to learn all the tricks of the speed square. Man, if we would have had KZread back in our early years of getting started in life in our building professions, we all could have been faster, better, more informed. Thanks Paul for making these videos for those who do not understand how to use the tools of our trade. Keep it all up. You are doing a great service brother.

I really appreciate your knowledge especially teaching the fundamentals like the speed square

I've never done any framing but am getting ready to build a small shed and your video has helped me understand something I was worried about getting right. Thank you for such a well done, easy to understand video on the Speed Square. I'm looking forward to watching and learning more of your videos. Thanks Paul - well done.

I love all your very informative videos ! Great job Paul !

Wow Pual thank your for all these tutorials! I'll be building a tiny house from scratch soon. The tutorials you give are life saving when planning, to make things faster, easier, and saves me from making simple inexperienced mistakes. Thank You so much!

Great video Paul. When I learned framing in the 70's with my dad who was a home builder, I always wondered what the speed square was for. He would rarely use it except to square up lineal. He only used his framing square to layout rafters and stair treads. In the 90's the speed square was never far from my hands on layouts...

Some really good tips there Paul. You make it look so simple. Thanks for all your videos!

Nice! Thanks for the information! I've been wanting to build my own shed. This will definitely help me with the project. Keep up the great work!

Sweet stuff. Glad to see you made another review of the speed square in action. Keep it up

This infor will come in handing when I start building my shed.Thanks Paul

That's a very useful tool. thanks for sharing Paul

Thanks, for the great Video! Your a great instructor. Your small scale visual helped a ton. I always found it hard to grasp when it was a large scale rafter.

Once again, fantastic and informative video! Thanks Paul!

Thank you for your time and effort. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the building trade.

Great tips as usual. Keep them coming.

I learned from the last video how to get the angle for some handrails using the speed square from you. It was right on. I used a string and socket on the end for the plumb bob. Who knew? Thank you. I was sweating it cutting the top rail that costs $50 for each trex board.

Great video Paul....Have been using a speed square for years, but you have shown me things that I didn't know about it. Will definitely use these tips in the future. Thanks!

Great video! You are very clear in your explanations and even a novice like me can understand them. Thanks!

You squared every thing up for me Paul, now it's time to start cutting up my roof.

Hooked on your videos.Came across your channel the other week and loved it. Look forward to all your posts,. As a complete novice I've learned loads. Gotta agree with Robert Hardy ; I bought a speed square and with your help I can use it correctly now. Keep the videos coming.

Hi Jesse, Thanks for the compliment. I try to make sure I explain the detail that people need to finish their projects successfully. I do have plans for some new videos soon. Please subscribe and hit the bell for notifications. Also check out my websitewww.paulsttoolbox.com Have a great day! Paul

great tips. Thanks for sharing.

I like the speed square. I want to learn how to use this cool tool👍

Another excellent video, thanks

love your videos, I have learned so much from you, what are the basic tools you have to have in your tool box, like say if your hiring a helper or someone just starting out or the D I Y'er

👏Good job explaining.

Wow awesome. That was very informative.

Loved your video

These two videos have been the most informative information I have ever seen on speed squares. I am a recent subscriber and have learned more from you in a short time about basic carpentry and cabinetry than from any person I have followed on KZread. I would love to have a Swanson Square and booklet. Also, where can I find a tape rule that has the numbers on both sides. The manufacturer name or source of the tape measure would not only help me but also many others in getting that tool. Again, as I said earlier, I have learned a great deal from you in a short time because you share things in a way that makes since.

Do you have a tool belt setup you like for the non-pro around the house? Seems like i just need hammer, speed square, nails/screws, tape measure, utility knife, and painter's tape. Oh, and a pencil :)
