John, thanks. I have one of these as well as one of the telescopic rulers
that click at the 1/16. For some reason known only to the manufacturer of
these, the extension rods for the two rulers are not interchangeable. So

I use bot the Rotomatic and the click rule. They are both extremely accurate
with the Rotomatic being a bit more accurate. They both have their advantages

Thanks Micky for the info. If you have a source, or decide to make some of
these yourself, I'd definitely be interested in a couple or three three-footers.

Bill, I use rotomatics. They start with a 6-inch ruler that is
marked every 1/2 inch with a thread of the 3/8, 16, rod. One turn of
the marked nut is 1/16th of an inch. A regular nut is also
a metal t-square. Mark with a scribe, (with sighted help if necessary,
really it helps) on the primary measurements, and eventually more deep
scribings as you need them.
It's straight, it's metal it's big, and in a pinch you can use it for an
electric saw guide.

Dale, Dale,
If you saw this lab, you'd never in life accuse me of being fastidious!/
Hmmm, I think the real meter standard is berilium or some such
Three digits of accuracy is nearly always enough.

Actually, this is just something I decided would be fun to do and useful as
well. It's just going to be a solid table with one shelf. Probably it will
also have a seldom-used dog crate stored underneath it, but it's

I've decided I just have to build a small but sturdy table in my basement,
measuring 36 x24 x 42 high. I'm going to make the thing entirely out of 2 x
4s. I can measure accurately up to 36 inches. I have a tape measure, but I
tend to use it for rough estimates, not for measuring where
, but I'm a bit concerned
about accuracy.
