Great to see a guy that paid attention to what he was being taught hands on at the jobsite.

I appreciate the video and thank the generosity with which you’ve dispensed your knowledge. I didn’t know any of these tricks but thanks to you, now I do!

Thank You glad you were sharing today . Learned something

The 3 4 5 method comes from A squared + B squared = C squared…. With a calculator on every phone you can now use any numbers to get square. You don’t need 3 4 5. Good video thanks for sharing.
Cory DaHuton January 16, 2019 at 8:15 pm
So in theory. Could you use the speed square trick to check the pitch of a roof?
Gage Anthonyon January 16, 2019 at 8:16 pm
Ya, these are good tips for newbies, these are what you learn first year on site. The books will never show you the quick and easy corners you can cut.

You could make a few stiffbacks 5 feet long and eliminate that third measure.

Ram Wallon January 16, 2019 at 8:30 pm
the 345method is great but suppose I want to square a 2-foot board with 3 foot board how do you go in between 3in and 3 foot to get it square
paul kon January 16, 2019 at 8:31 pm
the tape measure fetching trick only works if you can see the item but are for some reason not able to reach that far. having worked in various construction trades for many years i have used it myself.
i did not know the 3-4-5 rule and that was worth watching in itself. usually if i am building something with 4 sides i pull a tape diagonally across the corners to see if they are the same. this will let me know the corners are square provided the parallel pieces are of equal length. of course if you are laying out corner plates on a slab that may not be possible so the 3-4-5 rule is good to know and would be more accurate than a framing square due to the length employed.

The first garage I ever built was 24×30 out of rough sawn lumber and plywood in a location with no power. Two of us, both 19, had nothing but a tape measure, hammers, water level, stihl 015 chainsaw and ladders. But our secret weapon was dads who had taught us to think, and the garage got framed level, plumb and square.
My friend’s dad could take a blueprint and precut an entire house and the crew that built it would never need to make a cut. That guy was amazing, what was in his head for clever knowledge. You’d be measuring and figuring and he’d say here look- and flip boards around and explain the angles faster than I could think, and make a few marks and cuts and boom, it all fit together!
LaGuan Hayeson January 16, 2019 at 8:33 pm
Hey man, I have never seen any of those techniques. Of course, I’m just building small items. Still useful stuff for where I’m headed. Thanks.

Thanks for the video. I noticed we have some kids here who skipped out of their Kindergarten class. Pay no attention to them. Your video is appreciated.
Paul H Fordon January 16, 2019 at 8:35 pm
I’ve been in construction For a lot of years that’s how I learned of other people to good point like your video
LightspeedDemonon January 16, 2019 at 8:35 pm
I knew the 3-4-5 for squaring up, but the speed-square as a level, framing-squares to check planar alignment and the string-check for beam straightness I didn’t… Kudos for sharing !
Jeff Prostar190on January 16, 2019 at 8:39 pm
One of the problems is wood shop and metal shop ,different trades are not taught in school anymore so young people aren’t showin the basics.If they were they might fine it’s interesting to them. Then want to learn more about building trades
Aaron Von January 16, 2019 at 8:39 pm
Glad I decided to watch this, but honestly I prefer the 3/4” block method when straightening a wall, seems more accurate in my mind
Regon January 16, 2019 at 8:43 pm
I’ve watched your videos over and over and I’m still learning. I’ve been listening to my coworkers over the years and learned to be creative with the things I’ve learned so much that I’ve been able to use what I’ve learned for other hobbies. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. That trick with square and plumb would tell you the angle of a rafter (pitch of a roof) also, wouldn’t it. I’m not going to tell you what I did to figure out the pitch of my shed roof, you might hurt yourself laughing!
Douglas Elleron January 16, 2019 at 8:50 pm
Thanks bro great stuff…it always amazes me seeing some ppls negative feedback on a video of someone who is trying to make ppls lives just alil simpler as well as simply showing what he or she found to work for them…I appreciate the video and time you selflessly took to help others.
Chris Blairon January 16, 2019 at 8:50 pm
Need a magnetic tip my dude,you can actually pick up your hammer from the ground,it’s awesome!!!!
ernesto aliceaon January 16, 2019 at 8:51 pm
As a tradesman,, dont give all the secrets away nothing wrong with learning…i dont and wont teach or train anyone .. ill learn ya something thow… ya gotta want to learn to work under me …. they dont teach what i know in school …. i would watch the old timers on my lunch hour day in day out and then ask why they did this or that … untill one day i was took under a wing true master carpenter… one that could do anything and not ask the boss what do i do here ….

I like the sqaure leveler, i can just through my chalk line over real quick and go to town… Thanks man… Somebady asks for a level, thats what im about to show them…
mtnshow1on January 16, 2019 at 8:59 pm
I didn’t get the string straightening the beam one. I get that you’re checking to see if the beam is straight. But How do you straighten a bowed beam? that’s not possible.
Nick Krogulskion January 16, 2019 at 9:00 pm
I’ve worked with a lot of old school construction workers and I applaud you for retaining stuff they taught me never seen the square trick thank you for the info please keep making videos

When you used your speed square as a level my mind exploded in enlightenment.
I am no longer of this world now.

I began learning carpentry at 29 years old and knew nothing with plenty of bad habits already formed. Videos like this have helped me so much and I know there are plenty of folks out there who feel the same. Its simply GOOD to share what you know whether it is basic or advanced. Great work.
Few tricks on hand tools.
