Asked By CraftyNinja92 On

I'm new to woodworking and have been struggling to keep my projects square. I'm not sure if it's my measuring, cutting, or if I just need better clamps. What clamps do you think are essential for beginners, and what tips do you have to help me achieve squarer projects?

I’ve found using a shooting board helps keep everything aligned and ensures identical lengths for each piece. Construction folks often use chalk lines for larger builds, which is a neat trick too.

To keep your projects square, first make sure your saw blades and fences are aligned properly. For instance, your table saw blade should be square to the table, and the fence should run parallel to the blade. You can find lots of tutorials online to help calibrate your tools. If you're using corner clamps while assembling, they can help but won’t fix badly cut pieces. For a solid addition to your toolkit, check out corner clamps like these [corner clamps here](https://www.amazon.com/Woodworking-Aluminum-Positioning-Working-Equipment/dp/B0D8BT2136).
