i was always misplacing my squares so i decided i wanted a dedicated place for them but always at hand while at my bench
so i came up with this idea
why not use some wasted space
********PLEASE ALWAYS USE YOUR SAFTEY EQUIPMENT **********

Step 1:

First plan where you want your squares to be
then gather the tools you will need

**NOTE ***
THIS WAS PUT ON MY BENCH THAT HAS 2X4 BASE

tools i used in this project :

tape measure
square
cicular saw
jig saw
dremel
wood cutting bit for dremel
files
sand paper

alternitive tools
drill
drill bits

Step 2:

the first thing I did was to measure my space that I wanted them to be
then I marked the center from left to right and from top to bottom
then divide the remaining space in half on both sections { top and bottom ]
and mark your measurements on both left and right sides
now measure your square bottom and divide that in half this will be what you need to mark on each side from your center line {left to right}
this will be your cut line

take your circular saw and cut your line out

*****I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH TO BE VERY CAREFUL MAKING THIS CUT *****
hold the saw handle with both hands while holding the guard up enough to start your cut
always stand to the left of the saw while making cuts like this because the saw could catch and kick out and if you are on the right cutting towards you could get seriously hurt
so please be very careful and if you are unsure about doing this seek help from someone who has allot of experience with a circular saw

special thanks to :lewisb42
for pointing out that you will have to check for screws and nails befor you make your cut
and remove any that will be in the way : hitting a nail or screw would cause damage to your blade and or cause your saw to kick back

*****ALTERNITIVE METHOD******
if you are unsure of using a circular saw you can use a drill and jig saw
you will need to take your drill and find a bit that is just a bit larger than the thickness of your square
drill holes all along your line keeping it as straight as possible
then take your jig saw an cut the remaining slot out

Step 3:

if you used the circular saw method you will need to take your jig saw and finish the end cuts
i then used a thin file and sand paper to smooth out and straighten it up some

Step 4:

i then took a dremel and cut finger notches to easily pull the squares out

Step 5:

and now i have my squares at hand when ever i need them
please remeber to always be safe useing power tools
hope you enjoy and if i have missed anything or you have questions feel free to ask

thanks for looking
