I recently saw a folding rule in a boat shop. It is different than the folding rules that one normally sees in that the hinge points are 90 degrees to the way most folding rules are made. I believe it would lay flat.
Is anyone familiar with this tool? Where can one be found?
Thanks

There's another kind of folding rule? No, seriously! Those ones are what i grew up with; what are you folks used to? A link to a picture would be educational, thanks.

Derek, I believe that this is the type Alan was referring to. It doesn't lay flat... not much utility to it at all.

i see allot of pictures of rules, but no rulers :D . one thing that makes the typical (most commonly found at the hardware store) folding rule hard to use layed down is the fact that the majority of them are "outside reading". that is, the numbers start on the outside of the outside leaf. the stacked leaves, being below the outside leave are then always in the way of the rule laying flat unless you open it up all the way or hang the stacked leaves off the end of the board. the real, or should i say "original" carpenters' folding rule by lufkin or stanely are "inside reading" folding rules, but they are harder to find at the stores because most people in the stores don't know the difference. with these, the numbers start on the inside of the outside leave and the stack of folded leaves are are above the unfolded leaves, allowing the rule to lay flat without hanging off the end of the board you're measuring, much more convenient.look for the rule with the 72" mark on the outside. ;)

And I still have very little idea what your talking about on rules , or more commonly refered to as rulers ? From Funk and wagnalls : Def of " rule " #7. A ruler.
There is a seperate def of "ruler" as one who rules. but what the heck has that to do with what I named my pictures ? I could have called them merlin is a , but I didn't smile.gif

The rule/ruler thing was a joke, my boy. i learned in grade school that an instrument to measure with was a rule and a ruler was most usually a person who made unjust rules.
Paul, look at the pic posted by Hal Forsen. The top white "ruler" has the numbers running in opposite direction, looking at the same leaf, compared to the yellow bottom "ruler". The top is inside reading and the bottom is outside reading. Now imagine that you have a 8 ft. board and want to lay out 6 inch centers for 3 ft. on that board. With the white "ruler", you can open the "ruler" to 4 ft and the part of the ruler that you did not open will be above the the part you opened, with the part you opened laying flat on the board. With the yellow ruler, the part you did not open will prevent the part you opened from laying down on the board because the part you did not open is below the part you opened, so in order to lay the "ruler" flat you must open the entire "ruler". Up front,it might seem a small thing, but when you use one every day, outside reading "rulers" become a pain in the arse. If you use a folding "ruler" allot, next time you need one, find an inside reading one and see which one you reach for most after a while. Did that filter the mud? And if i have to keep hitting that shift key, i'm draggin' up!.i type slow as it is.

Just ordered one from the Wooden Boat Store like shown above by Ross M. At $11.95 it's a good deal too.
Thanks everyone for explaining the differences in types of folding rules. Next, I am going to look for an inside measure rule of the other type. Never knew there was an "inside" and "outside" type.

merlinron look at the rule in the picture the one with the#'s are worn off of , see it ? And the three unopened/ still wrapped rules? Along with the one in my nail bags currently in use , plus the spare new one in the comp. van , I think I've bought the last rule I'll be needing , lets se I'll be 50 in 15 days or so , and I seldom lose tools , and I'm pretty careful with the ones I have . I figure out how to layout with the ones I've been using for Holy Moly 30 + years , where did the time go ?
Did that filter the mud?
States your opinion
And if i have to keep hitting that shift key, i'm draggin' up!.i type slow as it is.No one can type as slow as me , old two fingers :rolleyes:
