One of the basic tasks in woodworking is squaring a piece of wood, and here is where one needs a try square.
The next indispensable woodworking tool is marking gauge. Its pin will neatly score the wood and the resulting line can be used as a reference for a chisel or when sawing. When doing any kind of work with irregular angles, one needs a sliding bevel. ECE layout tools are made in Germany.
