About this deal

Score! Turns out Mikeasaurus has an Instructable for a similar version of the tool I'm after! https://www.instructables.com/id/Equidistant-Layou... Combine the clever design, top notch materials and the extreme attention to detail and you get a tool that you will love to use. I see that in your instructions, you say that you use a magnet to hold the material in position. Why? Version 1 was cut using cardboard. It mostly worked... The chicago screws fit correctly and the tool articulation was smooth, but the tool wouldn't close all the way due to the chicago screws hitting the indent on the pointer leg.

In case you were wondering, that is the official metric spelling of "laser." Trust me, I'm an engineer...

There are no lateral cutting forces involved with a laser and little chance of the material moving unless you move it yourself. Units: The math is unit-less in that if all inch units are used the result is in inches and if all mm al used the the answers are given in mm. Also, meters, angstroms, or whatever makes you happy is used just keep the length units consistant. Do you think this will be as accurate as the commercial versions? Answer - Probably not. This version is made of wood and there has to be some "tolerance" to allow the screws to rotate. However, I'd bet it's just as accurate as using a tape measure to do the same layout job and it's faster. Ashley Grenon and Handmade with Ashley, 2014 – 2020.

Step #5: Subtract the total divider width (14 in Step #4) from the total space width (48 in Step #1) to get a total space width of 34 decimal inches (48 - 14 = 34). Seamsters, seamstresses and tailors use them as well. If you know where the top and bottom buttons on a garment need to be, marking out the ones in between is made easy with sewing gauges like these. Otherwise, if you are working with feet and inches, convert all feet, inches, and fractional inches to total decimal inches before doing the calculations. After the calculations have been completed, convert the equal spacing result to tape measurements (converters located beneath example calculation). However, it was a really useful tool to have before I broke it. I still want one! So I took the basic geometry from Mike's tool and made my own, replacing the rivets with chicago screws.The Equal Space Divider is manufactured in our Strongsville, Ohio factory, just south of Cleveland.
