Projects start here- Measuring
Every project starts with measuring and marking out your components.
Here are some of what we consider to be basics for every toolkit and store.
- Pencils - for initial marking and cutting to size
- Knives - for marking in hard surfaces and stopping breakout
- Squares - measuring and angles
