Creating an angle when woodworking can be simple if you use a T-bevel, also known as a sliding bevel gauge. You can use the T-bevel to measure your own angle or use it for transferring angles. The T-bevel mimics a square, with the short end adjustable. It is commonly used to measure angles for a dovetail joint.
Bevel down planes have irons that are situated with the bevel angle facing down, while the irons on bevel up planes are positioned with the bevel angle facing up. Most bench planes are bevel down while most block planes are bevel up. Specialty planes can go either way, depending on their intended purpose.
