    Hi Beam Square - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

    Did you build this? How did the design and construction process go?

    Hi Beam Square,

    Welcome!

    That's one slick-looking layout tool! Was it a CAD design or did you prototype by eye? Are you building them yourself?

    Any other homemade tools on your build horizon?

    Is this your first commercial tool build? I ask because a lot of our guys are building tools that are high-quality enough to be candidates for commercial manufacture.
