I made some end panels for a cabinet. But when I measured and marked the end of the panel I couldn't get or confirm it square. I checked my old rusty trusty framing square and from each side it was different. So I used a 5 foot Starrett machinist's straight edge to check the sides of the panel and they were straight and parallel. Then I tried my Starrett sliding try square with the 24 inch blade, a little better than the framing square but still not right.
I guess I have to add the facts that my shop is too small to be moving this panel around very easily. It is 27 by 76 inches, I built both sides in one panel to cut down on waste and save time. I can't cut it on the table saw, so i am cutting with a circular saw and a good straight edge guide.
So, back to high school geometry for the answer. Geometric constructions 101. :rotflm:
