Any interest in a Woodworkers General Measuring Kit?

Aug 30, 2004 5 Replies

Group,



Since measurement is so important to what we do, and there are so many ways to do it, I'm interested in you're feedback.



My company, Oregon Rule Co. designs and manufactures measurement instruments and systems including most of the famed adhesive or sticky backed rulers I keep reading about in here.



We have been discussing and developing different trade specific measuring kits. For example, we are already finalizing a measuring kit designed for industrial millwrights and pipe fitters. Would any of you seriously consider something similar targeted to woodworkers? If so, what would you like to see in that kit?



For example; I have five (5) different adhesive rulers in different formats designed for gates and backstops in mind as well as a pair of protractors. I have been using a special ruler we developed that has



1/8ths on the top and 10th's on the bottom to make my walking sticks.

to see a handful of my stock items, I've already build a number of custom rulers for many of you.

Consider? Yes.

Aside from your adhesive backed rules for jigs and stop blocks, a large rule that one could put under their lumber storage area, perhaps. Would give you a quick visual approximation of a board length before pulling it off the stack.

Looks like they have that with the 'Floor Rules'.
