Welder's Square

Welder's squares, sometimes known as fabrication squares allow you to very quickly clamp material into a 90° or 45° position very quickly for welding pieces together. While they are commercially available, they can be quite pricey depending on brand and construction. This is a simple tool that, with some careful layout, can very accurately be built in your workshop. In this example I am building out a 45°/45°/90° welder's square from 2"x2"x1/4" angle iron.
I will eventually be moving all of my welding/fabrication videos to a new channel TX Tradesman, I invite you to join me there.

    I haven't tried their stuff. It certainly all looks like it would work great. I just couldn't ever justify the price of their products when I can build my own that work just as well for a fraction of the price.

    I like the build process but isn’t the point of a tool like this is to enable one to weld the pieces together. Welding from just the outside, with no inside weld undo the clamps purpose?
