 What I Need to Know
Selecting the appropriate measuring instruments in carpentry is the basic
knowledge that every carpentry student should learn. “ Measure twice; cut once”
to avoid unnecessary cutting of lumber. Being familiar with the different measuring instruments
will help you mark out and measure components accurately to fit them together when
assembled.
Knowing the function of each measuring instrument will help you understand the concept
on how carpenters use these instruments on a specific task. This will help you to minimize error
on measurement.
