A combination square serves multiple purposes. A combination square is a tool used for multiple purposes in woodworking and metalworking. It is composed of a ruled blade and one or more interchangeable heads that may be affixed to it. The most common head is the standard or square head which is used to lay out or check right and 45° angles.
This short video shows Ray Horner Jr. explaining ways he used the combination ruler when building his custom canvas art.
My wife allowed me to tape her trying to use the self-centering tape measure. She made a few bloopers but I think she got the hang of it.
There are many measuring tapes to choose from. I want to share the benefits of using a Lufkin self centering tape measure. From color to accuracy this tape measure is easy to use. I find it helpful when installing art work and building art materials.
Share your questions with me.
In the next post I will demonstrate how to use this self centering tape measure.
Those of you who have signed up to the FREE video course on building an art stretcher heard me mention many tools. Now, I realize that some may or may not be familiar with these tools. So, my wife has agreed to interview me talking and showing you some of the tools.
We hope that this series will be helpful for you. Not only for the Art Stretcher Series but other art building projects.
Here is the first part of a series of videos on building and an art canvas stretcher.If you would like to see the rest of this video course just sign up below and they will be sent to your mail box.
PS I would like to give special thanks to my friend, Kevin Thompson, who did the endured the long video shoot.
Enjoy
This is not going to be a long introduction. This site is a work site. When you visit you will see tips, tools and hands on activity. There will be things that will meet every level learner from novice to advanced.
Please do not do negative self talk. You know things like, “I’ll never be able to do that”, or “I don’t have the exact tool he has, so I can’t do it”. That is, as Zig Zigler would say, ” Stinkin Thinking”.
I built this site to empower you. But you must try even if you do not get it right the first time, try try again.
If at any time you have a request or suggestion just let me know. Also, if you have a tutorial you would like to share that other artists and hobbyists can learn just let me know.
Thanks again for starting on this journey of building your own art stuff!
