Hello, Johnalden. Thank you very much for writing such an in-depth article on the usage of the steel square.

I stumbled across this page at random, and I was impressed, so I did some cleanup work (typo fixes, image placement, some rephrasing, that sort of thing). I would appreciate it if you could review the article to make sure I didn't accidentally mess up any facts. I should warn you that I don't know much of anything about carpentry.

I also noticed that the article referenced some images that don't seem to exist. Maybe they existed once, and they were deleted for some reason; but whatever happened, they aren't showing up now. Here's a list of them:

• Image:Framing square section.jpg
• Image:Framing square calculations.jpg
• Image:Comparison of Hip and common raftera.jpg
• Image:Top view hip rafter.jpg
• Image:Hip and valley jack rafters.jpg
• Image:Hip rafter side and plumb cut B.jpg
• Image:Diagonal scale framing square.JPG

The images that do exist, such as Image:Scribe an octagon2jpg.jpg, are excellent sketches that really add a lot to this article. If you have the images listed above and can upload them again, we can get them put back in to complement the text.

Again, thanks a lot for writing this great Wikipedia article. If I can help you in any way, or if you have any questions that I might be able to answer, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 10:46, 1 July 2006 (UTC) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To change the colour of font you can use the code

<font style=
 "color:#4286B4; ">
 the text you want to affect
 </font> 

(remember to use the hexidecimal color codes which you can see here) and it will look like:
the text you want to affect
Alternatively, to affect the font and size aswell you can use span tags like this:

<span style="
      font-family: Verdana;
      font-size: 200%;
      color: #4286B4;  ">
 The text you want to affect
 </span>

Which produces:
The text you want to affect
Also you don't need to set it out with a new line for each variable (as I have done) you can just have it as one long line, but setting it out like this makes it easier to edit. Hope this helps. James086^{Talk | Contribs} 03:19, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
