Bespoke Fine Furniture Handmade in Hampshire

Tool of the Month June 2018

Welcome to June’s Tool of the Month blog post, this month’s tool is the protractor!
Picture
A protractor
I am sure everyone reading this blog will be familiar with this tool, even if it does bring back memories of tedious maths lessons...

Quite simply the protractor is one of the core measuring tools in the furniture makers kit, it allows for accurate and repeatable measuring and marking of various angles.

I’ve been using mine today to mark the locations of the leg holes on a couple of Stable tables!

That’s all for this month, please look out for next months blog!
