How to Accurately Use a Standard Inch Ruler for DIY Projects?
-
Hi everyone,
I’m new to woodworking and DIY home projects, and I’ve been running into issues with measurement accuracy. I understand the basics, but I’m not sure I’m using the tools correctly.
Specifically, when using an inch ruler, I often get slightly off results that affect the final fit of my cuts. Can anyone explain the best way to read and mark measurements using an inch ruler, especially when working with smaller fractions like 1/16 or 1/32?
Any tips, diagrams, or beginner-friendly advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
