Jim – the shims have nothing to do with the rules. The shims are used for a number of tasks such as setting up the depth of cut at a miter box. What is pertinent to the joinery challenge, is how Ron used a shim to align the pocket screw joint, a real timesaver.

Great article. I was curious about the shims though? The 6′ rule I have has a sliding scale on it that can be used for a additional 6″. That is my question for the shims what is their use as it looks like the rules you have pictured have the sliding rule as well?

Thanks
Jim

Glen:

Thanks for sharing the tip about folding rules–can’t wait to get home and look at mine and figure out what I have, since as of this moment I am unsure!
