Breaking Rules

Don’t throw away that broken, wooden rule. Strip the hardware from
a 6-in. section. Then cut a slot for it in the front edge of your workbench
with a router. Place the zero mark flush with the top. You now
have a permanent depth gauge for adjusting circular saws, routers,
marking gauges, etc.
