My son Troy made four English layout squares per your Dec. 2010 article. Last Christmas he gave me two of them. I’m finding this square extremely useful in assembling several large cabinets.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the WIA.

Heh…chalk up another obsession after woodworking…pottery…

The big square for laying out casework stuff (dados, rabbets, etc). The Roubo square for the smaller stuff.

There are some GREAT places to imbibe local malt beverages…and talk about woodworking. Thanks as always for the great posts.

Be well,
Sean
