@sheetmetalsamurai: The Framing Square Hack Every Fabricator Should Know In today’s shop tip, I show how I weld pieces of flat bar onto a framing square to turn it into a rock-solid 90° guide when fabricating on a flat table. It keeps round pipe and square tubing perfectly aligned, and I even bevel the corner so it won’t interfere with your tacks. Simple mod, huge difference in accuracy. #weldingtips #metalfabrication #shophack #framingsquare #weldersoftiktok

I wouldn’t trust it to be square still after the heat input. Double check that before using it

Make a square out of tubes and use that as a square.. you don’t want to ruin you square with welding spatters

Why not use the square to make a square fixture..then you still have a square square to check squareness.

I could see this being useful in so many ways. And not just welding applications. I would definitely keep a flat one on hand as well.
