I tape the roof down so it's precisely parallel to the edge of the workbench, so I can run the T part along the workbench. Works great. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8831 kebmo1 Engine Wiper Posted - 02/04/2021 :  10:00:08 PM     quote: Originally posted by Pennman Carl, I made my purchase around 2:00 pm today and immediately got an email from the company saying it would ship in 5 to 7 days. Perhaps that is what Kebmo was referring to. The delay on the email, I believe, was for other items, if purchased, NOT the T- Ruler. BTW, I bought the 12" one. Thanks again. Rich thanks! i ordered a paint rack from micromark. it shipped fedex smartpost. from new jersey it went to memphis, on to mississippi, then off to kansas. it seems like a real stupid route to ship something from new jersey to the chicago area. i ordered a paint set from ak (spain) on the same damn day and got it two days ago. if that ain't a kick in the head.... diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie', until you can find a rock.

Thanks for sharing. Country: USA | Posts: 875 Pennman Fireman Premium Member Posted - 02/05/2021 :  11:57:52 AM     Hi fellas, I ordered my T- Ruler yesterday around 2:00 pm and just got an email saying it has shipped. That's quick turn around I think. Rich Country: USA | Posts: 4694 joakleaf Engine Wiper Supporting Member Posted - 02/05/2021 :  12:22:29 PM     Carl - shingles are very realistic , another great touch to the structure. Country: USA | Posts: 298 mikethetrainman Fireman Posted - 02/05/2021 :  4:23:08 PM     I order mine after 10pm the night before and the e-mail saying it shipped came within 8 hrs. Will see how long it takes to get to middle Tennessee.

Wow- I should call the manufacturer and report I sold 5 units in one day! Dave E- I use much the same technique. Jim- Thanks for your comment!

BTW, I ordered my ruler on the 4th and it will be here tomorrow the 8th. Not a bad turnaround.

Country: USA | Posts: 220 mikethetrainman Fireman Posted - 02/07/2021 :  5:38:37 PM     I got mine in the mail yesterday (sat) and laid out and cut shingles strips for my next project last night. Great little tool. Thank Carl.
