In January 2005 I started a thread entitled "How Straight is Straight" posing the question of whether woodworkers needed the strigthness found in Starrett straight edges or whether the straight edges from Lee Valley/Veritas were sufficient. I think the answer was that the Lee Valley/Veritas were plenty good 'nuf.
Now, a follow-up question. What length or lengths should a wood worker own? I think the two footers are sufficient. Am I right? What would the
50" straigt edge be used for? Tables?
