Hi guys,
I'm not sure if this post should be here or in Neanderthal, so if it should move, please move it....
I'm doing a project that has some very large and deep drawer boxes (not the drawers, the carcass section that holds them). As I started to put the final shape on the walnut panels for the boxes I discovered that my existing measurement and layout tools were not up to the task of building larger drawer boxes . I have purchased a few new quality measuring and layout tools and am at the final point of what I think I want/need.
The first thing that I thought I needed when I found my errors was either a very large precision Square (like a framing square size) or a very large precision Triangle. I think I have found a good solution on the framing square and I have 2 to choose from on the Triangle. I have a couple of questions for you guys have to do with these tools:
1) Do any of you own the Lee Valley Carpenter's Square (item 60N4801)? What are your thoughts on it?
2) Do any of you own either the WP 18" precision triangle (One Time Tool) or the TSO PTR-18 Plus precision triangle and if so can you give a reason for why you selected one over the other?
3) Lastly, any general comments you may have on these tools.. negative, positive, best tool I ever had, bought it but never use it, not worth the price, straighten out your own existing tools, etc...
thanks
