In Masonic ritual, these "working tools" are not used for construction but for self-improvement:
*The Square: Symbolizes morality and honesty. It serves as a reminder to "square" one's actions and behave fairly toward others.
*The Compasses: Symbolize self-restraint and spiritual boundaries. They represent the importance of keeping one's desires and passions within "due bounds".
*Combined: Together, they represent the union of the material (Square) and spiritual (Compasses) realms.
