Framing-Square Calipers

T

HIS MAY BE AN OLDtrick, but I thought of it myself and was
smiling the rest of the workday. My spring calipers measure
only up to 6 in. One day, I needed an exact measurement of a wood-
en column that was several inches larger than that. It occurred to me
that I had two small framing squares the same size. I mated the bodies
together, as shown in the sketch below, and took the measurement
where the tongue of one square intersected the interior scale of the
other one.
