A better measuring and marking system?
I use a traditional steel rule and sharpened pencil for marking off
wood, but I did wonder whether there isn't a modern replacement for ruler and pencil? For example, a "measuring rod" like a giant vernier than one sets to the required length, then marks the cut line with a laser beam. Any ideas? Had a quick Google, but nothing jumped out. MM |
