ruler yard stick and L square

thingiverse

i made these because i needed to purchase a tailor large L square searched for hours to only find one with the length i needed what i received is one side is standard and the other side is just plain gobalty goop i have no idea what the person who made this tailor ruler was on or even thinking about when it was made on the first side is ok and marked in inches but the other side the length the markings go from 1 to 14 in one scale then start again at 1 to 12 at a different scale then again 1-14 at a different scale and continues this 1-? increments all the way on the top length the only thing i can even think these are for is scaling a pattern up or down but to do this you have to know what scale the thing is in which is never mentioned anyplace in a reduced pattern if any body reading this understands the markings on this side please leave me a comment to try to explain it to me the bottom top length you look at it and you would think it is metric it is not i have no idea in the world what kind of measurement it is and to purchase a long tailor l square this is the only one that had the length i needed i defiantly will not ever purchase another ruler from these people "EVER AGAIN" i am sure the markings mean something to somebody but i think we will never know what they are i needed a L square marked in Centimeters and this ruler was advertised as being in CM and they say it does not even have inch markings in the add as even though i live in the USA making my own clothing measurements are so much eiser to work with in Centimeters than inches cant return it as it would cost more to ship it back than what i purchased it for oh well another expensive lesson at least it is square how to make these when you go and print the labels i noticed that if printed with windows photo viewer the markings are not right and way way off when printed in photo shop they are 100 percent accurate i think that this is why so many of the downloaded ruler i downloaded did not print at the right increments so i am not exactly sure what program you can use to print these labels correctly you will probably have to print with all your photo programs to find one that prints them accurately if you have photo shop use it as i know this program prints them accurately labels print then coat with your choice of protective coating again i used pledge floor finish put between 2 pieces of paper with your iron set to synthetic iron flat cut and glue to the yard stick so far i have tried several methods of gluing to the ruler using wood glue on the labels realy makes them curel and hard to place so far the best glue method is to use spray glue and spray to the back of the labels before cutting then put a piece of wax paper over the spray glue side and cut the Yard stick and L square the Yard stick is pretty straight forward print the yard stick pieces and glue the center pieces then the 2 end pieces the label i have both metric and standard marked on the labels for the L square print the yard stick pieces and the L square piece glue one end piece to the bottom and all but 1 of the length pieces then the end piece this seems like the perfect length i have made standard and metric labels you will not use all of the label pieces i just made the labels with as long as i could at about 40 inches encase one wanted to make the L square longer i am going back to the tailor square and french curve i uploaded and make one piece labels for the square i am not happy how that one turned out as i am getting better at making ruler labels
