A carpentry guide tool for ensuring precise and accurate measurements with regard to offsets and reveals commonly used in carpentry, particularly in the context of trim and molding around a door or window, is now disclosed. More specifically, the now disclosed carpentry tool is capable of use simultaneously in two orthogonal directions for the accurate measurement of reveals in the corner of a framed threshold and is designed for both ease of use and ease of manufacture. The now disclosed carpentry tool is of fixed dimension and static manufacture, mitigating the possibility that human error yields inconsistencies in measurement. The preferred embodiment is two concentric square prisms of differing sizes wherein every edge of one prism is congruent and parallel to an edge of the second prism, creating a reveal defined by the size differential between the two prisms.
A carpentry guide tool for ensuring precise and accurate measurements comprising two polygonal prisms of differing sizes wherein the face of a first prism is in flush contact with a face of a second prism such that the two prisms in combination create at least one consistent reveal along an edge of the tool, the reveal defined by the size differential between the respective surface areas of the first prism face in flush contact with the second prism face, and wherein the face of the larger prism not in contact with a face of the smaller prism features a recess in the surface of the face sufficient in size and shape to receive the protruding smaller prism of a second tool of the type now claimed.
A carpentry guide tool for ensuring precise and accurate measurements comprising—two polygonal prisms of differing sizes wherein the face of a first prism is in fixed and flush contact with a face of a second prism such that the two prisms in combination create at least one consistent reveal along an edge of the tool, the reveal defined by the size differential between the respective surface areas of the first prism face in flush contact with the second prism face, and wherein the first prism and second prism are interchangeable in relation to each other;
A carpentry guide tool for ensuring precise and accurate measurements comprising two polygonal prisms of differing sizes wherein the face of a first prism is in flush contact with a face of a second prism such that the two prisms in combination create at least one consistent reveal along an edge of the tool, the reveal defined by the size differential between the respective surface areas of the first prism face in flush contact with the second prism face, and wherein the first prism and second prism are interchangeable in relation to each other.
