Our master carpenters cannot be beat when it comes to layout with a speed square. Here we have Bubba cutting a perfect 15° angle on a rafter board. They say you’re only as good as the tools you use. But few are as good as Bubba.

And Bubba can use the other part of the speed square for laying out 75° angles. Brilliant.

Minus the 1/8” kerf of the blade so more like 73.8°. A very common angle in construction.

Lots of carpenters make their own tools. It’s the mark of a true professional.

I spit out my coffee and need a new keyboard now. I'll be sending you a bill.

All I can provide in return is a speed square

I sold single use squares for a time. Good money, but the environmental folks made it hard going.

Guess who owns the patent to plant-based speed squares that decompose over 117 years after their one time use.

I just had a stroke watching that.

Nothing a can of Spam can’t fix

That might have been what caused it.

Materials budget just exploded, you’re not sending me that bill Understood?

Chefk your mailbox

You’re not easily intimidated Respect

Perfect. No notes.

Now he can reuse it for all the rafters

Each one requires a 0.01° variance. Guess who sells speed squares out of the back of their truck.

"And you follow it through..."

Speed square follow through is the first thing you learn in trade school

Pro Tip: Use your thumb as a handy clamping tool to steady the speed square. Be sure to press firmly so the unit doesn't slip.

Not sure why more people don't do this

I know a savvy dentist who insured his hands for millions of dollars and took up DIY carpentry. Called it his early retirement package.

Gotta give him a hand for his strategic thinking.

And guess who also bought stock in bionic hand company? Yep. That guy. Freaking genius. If there was a vending machine within two blocks of a school or playground, he owned it. Handed out suckers after every cleaning. He knew his business from molar to cuspid.

That's why guys like that get paid the big bucks. Master of his craft.

Takes decades to learn how to cut through speed squares.

😂😂😂🤭 you guys are such rock stars 🙈😂😂😂

Now you got 75° bro

Didn’t account for the kerf of the blade. That leaves us with the very regularly occurring 73.8° angle in construction.

Oh sure hahaha

😂😂😂😂😂 Guy should be on Perkins builders Brothers

I just love watching a master at work.

Wow, that's really...somethin'...

Bubba was a nuclear engineer before turned carpenter

Good thing not an aluminum one.

The next cut will be 14 degrees, then the next will be 13 degrees. The law of diminishing returns...

Our law of diminishing framing language in our proposals protects us.

Nothing is ever 100% plumb, level, or square, cause the Earth's center of gravity keeps shifting. Add a geo-shifting clause in all of your contracts.

15° seat cut besides

Omg please do another one with an aluminum square

Uh 😳....ill pass having him on my crew, but atleast he sid cut 15 deg. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

We can bill him out at $450/hr if you ever need a hand.

@markkraczek70 Does the rate change based on how many speed squares he uses?

@bankertobuilder 😂🤣😂🤣

Works perfect every time

That’s why you don’t use the plastic ones

Poor saw is crying dont bend the blade dude. Cut straight lol

Something about cutting that speed square is obscene

He just needs to go to Costco to get a bulk supply of squares.

Yes but you are not supposed to cut through the square dummy, you are supposed to draw a line of 15 degrees.

My speed square sales have skyrocketed. Thank you for all of your business.

Was it his first cut after his morning joint, or first cut after his post lunch joint 😂?

Yeah but every time he cuts he's gotta go out and buy a new square lol

LMAO 😂 I ain't gonna lie...I used to do stupid stuff like this all the time before my brain fully developed.

You should never go full retard!

He's all grown up now 💪

Always wondered why they made them out of plastic! Looks like he might have put a pretty good slice in his saw horse too!
