Bricklayers also have a solution for level and plumb, the bubble in the level is a self adhesive transfer
The person who never made a mistake never made anything

I almost fell off my chair laughing.... that should've come with a danger "hilarious" warning. no surgical recovery patients should be allowed to watch., especially the part of the swapping out to a bigger hammer if the tenon doesn't go together.

It takes real genius to come up with such a simple solution to an age-old problem. I must start a new line of squares based on that 'patented' method of fixing blade to stock. I expect with having to pay for licensing of patent rights, they will be a bit more expensive than a CC, but about $1,000 each would be a reasonable estimate. Considering you'll never again have out-of-square joints, worth every penny, I reckon.......
Eat yer heart out, Bridge City. Anyone want to place orders?

The last line is great. 'When close enough is good enough'. I'm ashamed to admit I've thought that on more than one occasion

True story, I watched a brick layer have several goes at getting a wall level at one point and after he pulled it apart and relaid it several times he was still not happy so leaving the level on the wall he proceeded to belt the level with a lump hammer until everything showed level.

Well, this is nothing new although the penny just dropped. Some years back I purchased a Nobex square from a well know WW shop in Aus (They still exist). I took the Nobex back to state it was not that good. The owner (bless his soul he has retired now) showed me the accuracy by demonstrating the accuracy against a piece of wood. Oh dear the penny just dropped when watching this. Although to my redemption I did purchase a Colen Clenton at a later date. Square is now square. If anyone wants to purchase a 6' and a 16' Nobex - nah I still have my scruples or I would be a pollie.
