i intend to try making 1/10-scale starrett no. 20 6" square
construction overview
a sketch of the steps i plan on taking in the square's manufacture
- machine square stock & blade blanks out of annealed a2
- stock blanks to a bit above final dimension, to allow for sanding
- include slit for blade
- blade blanks to same thickness as stock blanks, with extra area for clamping milling to thickness
- stock blanks to a bit above final dimension, to allow for sanding
- harden blanks
- clamp during hardening to minimize warp?
- hard-mill blade blanks to rough dimension
- first to proper thickness, against parallel
- then to proper area
- need to be careful with work holding so it doesn't crack
- to a bit above final dimension, to allow for sanding
- sand to final dimension, nice finish
- glue to block to make them easier to manipulate?
- means they should be sanded in groups
- glue to block to make them easier to manipulate?
- fix blade into stock slit
- adhesive? brazing?
- make storage container
- stack of 1/8" masonite, for ease of construction?
- actually try to replicate original boxes on shopbot?
- will have trouble with scaling the hinges
