Measuring and Marking Wood

 

Show in use here is a divider, a tool that comes to us from the machinist trade..  This tool is similar to a compass and can be used to scribe an arc, but it is also used as a very accurate measuring device.  It can transfer a linear measurement, as shown here, or it can be used to precisely space a set of dovetails.
