My previous photo posting might have been somewhat misleading. The green
cutting mat was only in the photo to show scale and was not attached to
the Jim Jones tool.
The baseplate of his tool is 6.0-in high by 8.0-in wide by 0.125-in thick.
The clear plate on the top layer (of 3 layers), but nearest the person,
is 2.25-in * 8.0-in. The second layer has a fixed tapered clear plastic
plate nearest the person.
The middle layer has a fixed scale nearest the person and a moveable
scale adjacent and also under the clear plate. The fixed scale is 8-in
long, ~1.63-in on the left, ~0.85-in on the right and is marked for 5.0
inches into 100 increments.
The slider part of the middle layer is 8-in long, ~0.85-in on the left
side, and ~1.67-in on the right side. It has only a zero point marked in
the center (4.0-in from either end).
There are 3 metal pins. Two hold the three plates together near the
person. These plates are the base, the stationary scale, and the clear
top plate.
The other other metal pin is the stop for the left edge of your rib
template. It is about 3.35-in from the edge of the tool nearest the
person and ~0.81 from the left edge. This is good, but for a left-handed
person, moving this template stop pin to the right side would be preferred.
