Different types of hand tools in a tech workshop.
Engineering set squares - is used as a marking and checking tool used to assess and mark straight lines. Made up of two straight pieces (stock & blade) that work together to create a right angle at exactly 90°.
Carpenters pencil: the reason why the shape is like this is that to stop it from rolling away. You can sharpen a carpenter's pencil by using a craft knife.
Marking gauge - A marking gauge is used in woodworking to mark out lines for cutting or other purposes. The main purpose is to scribe a line parallel to a reference edge.
Combination square - A combination square is a multi-use measuring instrument that is primarily used for ensuring the integrity of a 90° angle, measuring a 45° angle, measuring the center of a circular object, find depth, and simple distance measurements. It can also be used to determine level and plumb using its spirit level vial.
Sliding bevel - A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. Different from the square, which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle, the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it to another piece.
Nicely laid out. I believe you could have put more information about different tools. Good job.
