and timbers.

One of the oldest tricks in the woodworking book, so to

speak, is a simple method for determining when any assembly or item is square. This
basic trick really isn't a trick at all; it is based on Pythagorean's Theorem, which states
"the sum of the squares of two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the third
side, or hypotenuse."
Blue Line
Now, while you can always use the 3-4-5 Rule to determine
square on any scale when we are laying out a project, there is a
more precise way to determine whether your nearly- completed
assembly is square. Measure the diagonals with a tape measure
and check to see if the two distances match. If they are equal,
your assembly is square.

Case in point: take a look at the drawing of a panel

exterior door on the right. If we measure from one corner to the
opposite corner diagonally (as shown by the red line), and then
compare that distance to the opposite diagonal measurement (as
depicted by the blue line), the two distances should match
exactly. If they are equal, the assembly is square.

Now, what do you do if the two diagonal measurements don't

match? Adjust the assembly. In the image above, if the red line's
Red Line

length is longer than the blue line's length, push inward on the two red corners. If the
blue line's length is longer, push inward on the two corners of the assembly at the ends
the blue line. After adjusting, cross-measure both diagonals to check for square again.
Keep adjusting and cross- measuring both diagonals until the distances match, and your
assembly will be square.

It goes without saying (that's why I'm going to say it) that the item you're
measuring should be designed to have four right-angle (90-degree) corners. In other
words, if the two long sides or the two short sides of the assembly aren't equal in length,
this rule cannot be applied properly. However, any parallelogram can be squared by
making the a forementioned measurements and adjustments. Finding Square Using the
3-4-5 Rule.
Understand the 3-4-5 method. If a triangle has sides
4 (B) measuring 3, 4, and 5 feet (or any other unit), it must be a
right triangle with a 90º angle between the short sides.
If you can "find" this triangle in your corner, you know the
3 (A) corner is square. This is based on the Pythagorean
5 (C) Theorem from geometry: A2 + B2 = C2 for a right triangle.
C is the
longest side (hypotenuse) and A and B are the two shorter
"legs."

Assembling Form Panels using Forming Boards

1. Prepare the work. Make available the tools and materials. A work table is to be
manufactured.
2. Enter all sizes required into the working drawing. Derive the sizes from the
dimensions of the type of formwork for which the formwork is to be made. Prepare
the size distribution of the cover straps in particular.
3. Cut up the boards. The board
width should not be exceeded
140 mm. Do not place the rough
edge of the board to the inside of
the formwork.
4. Cut the stiffening cover straps
to length. Cover straps to have a
width of approx. 55 mm with 25
mm projection for comer joints.
5. Put the cover straps on the
arranged boards according to
the size distribution made. Use measuring rod, if necessary.
6. Nail the cover straps on the board-panel. It is provisional nailing with short nails
(40mm). Use as many nails as necessary to make the panel stable in
itself.
7. Nail the cover straps on the boards
from the opposite side. Turn over the
provisionally nailed board-panel and nail
it with 70 mm long nails. Two nails
per board are to be diagonally arranged
at the cover strap joint.
8. Clinch the nail tips. Turn over the
panel again and clinch the penetrated
nail tips.
