A cement siding tolerance device and measurement tool, which has a main panel having a tab and a ridge, whereby the tab and the ridge perpendicularly extend from the main panel at opposite sides. The main panel has a front face, a rear face, a top edge, a bottom edge, first and second lateral edges, and a plurality of holes. The main panel has ruler-markings adjacent to the first and second lateral edges. The main panel is rectangular in shape. The tab perpendicularly extends from the front face separated a predetermined distance from the bottom edge, and the ridge perpendicularly extends from the bottom edge at the rear face. The tab and the ridge measure clearances and gaps between siding and trim products with solid surfaces building elements.

A stepwise and stepless adjustable square, including: a stock; a blade; a first alignment structure; a second alignment structure; a spring device; and a knob movable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the first and second alignment structures at certain angles between the stock and the blade align and engage such that a force of the spring device is reduced compared to the force at angles where the first and second alignment structures do not align for stepwise adjustment, and wherein in the second position the second alignment structure is moved axially away from the first alignment structure, whereby the first and second alignment structures are separated from each other, and a first surface associated with the blade is brought into frictional engagement with a second surface associated with the stock for stepless adjustment.

In one embodiment, an artist tool for capturing relationships between features comprises: a first transparent blade; and a second transparent blade, the first and the second transparent blade each having a length extending from a first to a second distal end, and a width extending from a first to a second edge, each having a fastener hole offset from a center point; a fastener that penetrates through the fastener holes of the first and second blades such that the first blade is rotatably coupled to the second blade by the fastener. At least one of the first or second blades comprise a first linear slit that extends along a center axis between the first distal end and the fastener hole. Either blade may include a second linear slit that extends between the second distal end and the fastener hole. The center axis passing through a center of the fastening hole.

A tool for sizing a workspace includes a first link with a link body and a tool element. The tool includes a second link connected to the first link, where the second link is capable of rotation or translation with respect to the first link, and where the first link and the second link are selectively securable relative to each other. The tool includes a third link connected to the second link, where the third link is capable of rotation or translation with respect to the second link, and where the second link and the third link are selectively securable relative to each other.

A method includes fixing an axis between a first arm with a lengthwise slide for a first vertex pivot and a second arm comprising an angle indicia proximal a first end and also a lengthwise slide for a second vertex pivot. The axis is configured to interlock the two arms proximal respective first ends in a fixed angular relation based on the angle indicia. A first half of an elliptical arch is scribbed on an elliptical template blank via a scribbing point proximal the axis by sliding the first arm along the lengthwise slide on the first vertex pivot and sliding the second arm along the lengthwise slide on a co-vertex pivot. A second half of the elliptical arch is scribbed by sliding the first arm along the lengthwise slide on the co-vertex pivot and sliding the second arm along the lengthwise slide on the second vertex pivot.
