Measuring Tools
There is an old carpenter's saying, "Measure twice and cut once." Good measurements are at the heart of good work, and good measurements require good measuring tools. Joseph Marples and Robert Sorby of Sheffield make traditional cabinetmaker's squares that are as useful today as they were 200 years ago. Brown and Sharpe of Providence specializes in machinist's measuring tools, however many modern woodworkers use Brown & Sharpe measuring tools because they want the ultra-precision and flexibility afforded by this style of tool. Whichever style you prefer, you can be assured with these two brands that you are buying the best.
