I want to thank you so much for this. I am a grandma, in KY. I lost my house and my retirement, back in 2008. I am now fixing up a house. I got it cheap. Because it needs a lot of work. I can't afford to pay someone. And i could do it myself, if i knew how. But I can learn! THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME! You are helping me have a HOME again! God bless

Don't understand why 3,000 people don't like this video. I thought it was well done. I know I learned a lot.

I bought a metal speed square today because I had a plastic one that I broke. Was putting up rafters on a new deck I built. You just taught me all kinds of new stuff you can use a speed square for. Thank you for your time and how well you explained this.

Have been carrying one of these in my truck for years, and finally got a lesson on what all those protractor numbers are. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. If you take requests, I'd love to see a video on how to make the table you build on.

I'm an hvac technician I bought a speed square when I installed hardwood floors and replaced sliding doors with French doors in my house. I wish I saw this video sooner. I needed to know the angle of a slope and I struggled so bad with it. I ended up using trigonometry and my scientific calculator on my phone when I simply could have used a speed square and a plumb bob. I knew there was a way to use a speed square but I didn't know how until now Thanks so much

Thanks. I grabbed my speed square and followed along and learned stuff I didn't know. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and posting it.

Every time I use one of these I neglect the fact that someone had to invent this thing! The man was a genius!

The real genius is in the rafter tables included with every speed square, used in conjunction to make compound cuts on hips and valleys. All figured out for us. Truly an amazing tool and improvement over the common framing square. Thank you for the great video.

Thanks for breaking that down. Totally comprehensible and to the point. Again, thank you sir.

I'm totally geeking out right now! I have had my speed square for years and I wasn't even using it to full potential. thanks for this video.

I've had a speed square in a drawer for YEARS and had no idea what all those marks were for. Thanks for the info!
-
I've had speed squares for most of my adult life (I'm 62) and basically used it to scribe straight lines for the chop saw. NEVER knew about the 1/4" in marks for ripping. It's like I have another tool. Thank you sir.

I've always wanted to learn how to use a speed square, I knew enough to cause me to lose lumber lol. Thank you for taking time time to teach us.
