I’m new to school and excited to see what everyone is working on. Here’s the last thing I made. My wife wanted a “stuffed animal zoo” from Amazon… and you know how that goes! I truly only want your honest opinion. I have no ego.😉

Does anyone have any good advice for what a good machinist square and ruler would be for wood working?
