How to make a perfect square

Post by Wataru333 »

Hi everyone!
I wanted to fold a somewhat complex model, like the Nguyen Eagle, or maybe the Pheonix, and went out to by a roll of foil or something. Unfortunately, the hardest part of folding anything was making the square :cry:

Does anyone have some tips on how to make a perfect square from a large roll of paper? :idea:

I always recommend a carpenter's 24 inch " L " square.
Get the highest quality possible ( contractor's L square) for accuracy .
Once one end is absolutely 90 degree accurate, it's very easy to fold over vertical edge to match top horizontal edge .
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .
