    Some of the glaziers use some pretty decent ones, that would be the place to ask if you want something special, dare say signmakers would know too. I had one made in perspex and mahogany, I also had a very large compass made at the same time, along with a toolbox with teak inlaid lid.. They were all made from a 300 year old staircase, can’t. Very extravagant, but 25yrs later I still have them, and I reckon they’re set last longer than I will.

    Go hunting a "framing square" used by chippies and roofers. Its big, but some fold down too.

    We use either brickies squares (like the one above ^^^) or a 1500mm glaziers square (if we’re using it on our cutting table).
