We Brought It Back — The Replacement Odd Job #1 Ruler, Reimagined

The Stay-Put Replacement Ruler

These rulers are always missing. So I made them.

This is my replacement ruler for the Odd Job #1 — bringing a commonly lost piece back to life and making it better.

Each ruler has fractional markings and comes with two screws: a short one for the stay-put feature, and a longer one that can be used as a depth stop for marking wood.

Set the screw to barely peek out and it will bite just enough to hold the ruler steady. No slipping. No chasing lines. Just clean, confident layout work.

This first batch is small. I want to see what you think before making more.

It’s time to start using tools again. Let’s get those Odd Jobs back to work.
