How Straight is a Straight Edge?

Just about every tutorial out there for setting up a new tool or starting a project starts with checking to make sure your surface is flat or your board is straight. How can you tell that without spending a ton of money on very accurate equipment? Today I delve into a simple solution to save time and money in checking to make sure you start with a flat reference edge. I've loved building things from a young age and I believe anyone can get out to the shop and make things. I want to inspire people to go out there and learn something new, to experience the thrill of taking a project from the moment of inspiration to a finished piece. Also, my wife has a very long honey-do list for me and I might as well make videos doing it.
