Measuring Marking and Layout: A Builder's Guide

>>> BlackFriday Measuring Marking and Layout: A Builder's Guide

If you're planning on building any of the hard parts of a house like footings foundation floors walls ceilings roofs stairs masonry or shingles you will want this book so you can figure out how to make them plumb square level and evenly distributed. (I think that covers most of the carpentry sections)
He shows a few options for arriving at each layout typically mathematically from charts and from pictures so if you have trouble with one of them you can try another.
Octagons aren't very popular in my neighborhood but if those (or other polygons) appear in yours you'll find he has good information on them too.
I'd recommend a read through the book for suggestions when you first get it (I did that in a long evening) and if you're a really good student you can follow along with all the examples. (I wasn't). But keep it by your side and read the chapter you need as you build. It will pay for itself in saved time and straigher work on the first job.

I was using cheap Irwin snap lines for 7 years now and finally got tired of them. With this Tajima I was amazed as soon as I opened the case. You can feel the quality in your hand. Aluminum case will hold up worlds better than plastic. When not using the fill cap has a nice "latch" that the end hooks onto securely when not using and WILL NOT come off. I can't tell you how many times my Irwin would get pinched under a tool in my toolbag and when I went to grab it 10' of line would be unwound and chalk on some of my tools. It winds up smoothly and has a line lock so if your arms can span it you can snap it with your free hand. The fill cap is just a 1/4 turn and has a nice rubber o-ring to help keep out moisture. The line is a thin braided line and produces a great line every time. No more lines that are 1/8" thick with excess chalk everywhere. I've never thought a chalk line was much of a tool until this Tajima showed me that they actually have "features". Make sure you buy extra Tajima chalk right away as the bottle that comes with is only 1.4oz. However the small bottle comes in handy as it is much easier to carry around.
