Hi all,
Woodpeckers have announced 2 new ONE-TIME Tools;
A 150mm Pocket Rule (http://woodworksupplies.com.au/prod786.htm), with a few unique Woodpecker enhancements.
A matching 450mm Bench Rule (http://woodworksupplies.com.au/prod787.htm), again tweaked by Woodpeckers.
The development of these follows a visit to Gregory Paolini in North Carolina [http://www.gregorypaolini.com] Gregory Paolini, offering hand made, custom furniture, cabinetry, and custom built-ins for discerning clients. It didn't take long for Gregory to elaborate on how useful a pocket rule is but how much better it could be with just a few tweaks. In particular he thought it should be thicker and wider. Thicker so it would stand upright on its own and wider to make room for a longer vertical scale.

Seeing the rebirth of the pocket rule, the next step was its 'big brother' a Bench Rule three times the size.
