I get timber presquared, I don't even own an electric jointer, and can't envisage ever even needing one.
Furniture needs to be square:eek: , when did this happen:confused: ? who decreed this:( ? and why:confused: ?, cause none of my houses have had square corners:o .

Pencil.

Definitely a pencil. Usually a RED clutch pencil so I can see where it is at all times IF I accidentally put it down.

It's also known as my "Talking Stick" because I can't explain anything to anyone unless I have a pencil in my hand.

I use it to think out loud with as well, make marks, dig glue out of corners, and without the lead it's a handy pickup device for really tiny screws out of reading glasses and radios, (you know the kind that are too small to pick up by hand)

Cheers,

But, Brother Midge .... if the screws have fallen out of your reading glasses into your radio, how do you keep your glasses on your nose so you can see to pick up the little screws with your clutch pencil? :confused:

I use my square a fair bit but I am pretty sure that the tape measure is my most used. Measure along and across all sorts of things. You can use it to find if something is square with it as well. In fact timber not being such a precise medium (god I use big words) the tape can sometimes be the best thing to use to find square.

I should use my roller stands as well more than I do. I have made plenty of mistakes running something through a machine which was really just a bit too long to do without the stands.

G'day Jukes,

When I first read that in my email I thought I read that Doug has some barmaids stashed in a few places, but I thought nah! Then I wondered what you'd do with barmaids, but then if you're both on the verandah all the time hitting wood together then someone has to get the beers. :cool:

Then I come herre and read "bandaids" :(

Now, me being another word man, wonder if ' precise medium' is an oxymoron? ;)

G'day Cliff,

I knew you'd come back with that, I''m well aware of the distances - just couldn't think of anyone else up North - even though Bundy is a fair way from Cairns.

Er .... Jules, listen ... if you and Doug are floating your boat in beer then I have to say, you're living far too high a life! ;) You'll find that water is much more economical.
