Great info. I really like that halving technique  with the long ruler. A big time saver!

Dan, I've had a plastic triangular squire like the one in the video.  Very handy & I use it often.  Never occurred to me to check if the "straight edge" was actually straight.  It wasn't.  The edge curved up slightly where you mark against.  It cured easily on the belt sander.  I only use it for rough cutting, so it was never a problem.

Thanks for the video Old Man.

Good idea to sand the edge of the triangle. Thanks.

Too bad you do not have Harbor Freight stores. The give away free tape measures with a coupon. I must have nearly a dozen scattered all over the house and shop. Always one within easy reach.
