Everning everyone,
I am attending a traditional woodworking class at MASW right after Labor Day, and one of the tools mentioned is a Starrett square.
I thought about buying the adjustable combination version to have more flexibility in my measuring/marking tool purchase. Nice, used ones can be had online (eBay for example).
Are there other comparable manufacturers out there? Brown & Sharpe? Union? Are they all the same? Garrett Hack mentioned Starrett as the best brand to buy, in terms of accuracy. I know machinest quality non-adjustable squares can be had for good prices at LV, so that the other option.
BTW, my wife bought my a $75 gift certificate to Lee Valley, so I will get that very nice $99 LA block plane with the adjustable mouth. Travelling to Ottawa the week of August 22nd. First time in 5 years to the original store! Sweet...
