I learned a trick in the early 70’s from an old carpenter I was fortunate enough to work under for over a year - Joe Shingle, born in 1900 He had a way of opening his 6 foot zig zag where he just spread his arms and it was fully open in 1/2 a second. I learned it and still use it. When you get good at it, you can open the rule 1/2 way or 1/4 the way almost instantly. Wish I knew how to take a movie. Ed Minch |
