OK, I'm mostly a woodworker that is getting into metal work now and I have
a question that may seem simple. Sorry in advance if it is.
I was building a server cabinet and fish tank stand this weekend and I was
having a hell of a time getting/keeping things square. I have a level
table to work on, but once I got to adding legs and such in the 3rd
dimension, I was having a hell of a time. I can't measure cross corners
because the other corner isn't build yet.
I have those "welding magnets" that are suppose to hold the work together
and square (it holds the work, but you need to adjust square.
So, what are some tricks? I was trying T-squares, levels, clamps. In
woodworking, if you are off a "little" you can correct it easy, but once a
leg is welded, it's not moving.
TIA
