No speed square
Well, **somewhere** I have a yellow Stanley ''Speed Square'' (I think that's the name). It's a 45-degree triangle with a fence on one of the legs, so that you can mark out 90 degree and 45 degree lines on lumber. I use it a lot in my carpentry projects. Dang it.
So on Friday, on my lunch break, I stopped by the hardware store downtown. I was thinking, Hey, it's a piece of heavy plastic with a lip -- five bucks? ten bucks?
Turned out to be fifteen bucks. Sorry, that's past my pricepoint for a piece of plastic. Especially since I know I already have one. Somewhere.

Addendum: In all fairness, it turns out that mine was the Stanley ''Quick Square'' -- which may be the less-fancy version of what was offered at the hardware store. But fifteen bucks is still too expensive (for me) for (1) a piece of plastic that (2) is a duplicate of what I already have.
