I don't think you need a separate video of the square tallies; they will be
worked in much the same ways as the leaf ones.
The only difference will be that on the first row where David is balancing
the pull between the two passives around the pins with the worker and he
pulled it to a point, for a square tally you pull it in tightish (to get rid of
any slack in the starting off threads and twists) and then keeping some
tension on the worker, use the two passives to pull the top to the width you
want the tally to be.
After that, just make sure that on each row the turn in the weave is
exactly below the previous rows. David did this in the centre of the leaf.
Once you are started, square tallies are easier to work than leaf ones, as
you don't have the increasing/decreasing to worry about. If you have a
loopy edge it is far more likely that you aren't tensioning the worker enough,
than that you are pulling it too hard.
They are temperamental at the end though, so follow David's finishing
instructions very carefully. Lay the worker to the back as he showed, and then
work the complete pair as far as you can into the ground. Then bring the
worker down, and take that pair into the ground but be very conscious of which
was the tally worker bobbin and, for the first few stitches, every time you
gently tension it keep your eye on the tally as you do so.
