Abstract: A birdsmouth jig includes a base having an inside edge, a square having a first leg with a first outside edge and a second leg with a second outside edge meeting at and defining a corner, wherein the square is mounted to the base for sliding movement along the base.

Abstract: A carpenter tool including a body having a first edge and a second edge, a bubble level carried in the body, the bubble level having a tubular sidewall terminating at opposed first and second closed ends. The tubular sidewall has a first section and a second section, wherein at least one of the first and second sections is parallel to at least one of the first and second edges. The first and second sections are oriented normally with respect to each other. The first and second sections are joined to each other in fluid communication and partially filled with a fluid and a bubble in the fluid, such that the bubble is enabled to move between the first and second sections freely.

Abstract: A carpenter tool includes a triangular body having a hypotenuse edge opposite a right corner, a first edge extending between the right corner and the hypotenuse edge, and a second edge extending between the right corner and the hypotenuse edge opposite the first edge. A fence is pivoted to the first edge for movement between first and second positions. In the first position, the fence is normal to the triangular body. In the second position, the fence is coplanar to the triangular body.

Abstract: A carpenter square includes a body including a first, second, and third edges. A fence is pivoted to the first edge for movement among first, second, and third positions. In the first and second positions, the fence is normal to the body. In the third position, the fence is coplanar to the body. A hinge assembly pivots the fence to the body and includes a notch in the body, a recess in the notch, and a tab projecting from the fence and fit over the pin for reciprocating and swinging movement. The tab moves between a neutral stance, in which the tab is mis-registered with the recess and disables movement of the fence among the first, second, and third positions, and an advanced stance, in which the tab is registered with the recess and enables movement of the fence among the first, second, and third positions.

A fence is pivoted to the first edge for movement between first and second positions. In the first position, the fence is normal to the triangular body. In the second position, the fence is coplanar to the triangular body.

Abstract: A carpenter square includes a triangular body having a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge, wherein the first, second, and third edges cooperate to define a perimeter edge of the triangular body. A fence is pivoted to the first edge for movement among first, second, and third positions. In the first position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a first direction. In the second position, the fence is normal to the triangular body in a second direction opposite the first direction. In the third position, the fence is coplanar to the triangular body.
