belt makers /pattern tip saves time for me

[pete]

I  have bought a few  metal  12" rulers over the years and cover the backs with clear tape to keep them clean. I also measure the rulers widths and write the measurements on the back with a sharpie. They are all different but handy to have a known width.

The 36" aluminum ruler is a Johnson and Level Tool Co part # js236-0554. It is 1 1/8 wide and I can scribe a 36" line on each side on my tracing film to get a perfect border line(s) as I use 3/16ths borders.

for 1 1/2" belts- the width I am most asked to make.

got it at Springfield.
