Don't feel bad Jeff, half the people I've shown this to also fell for it! He played it up real good in the vid.

I remember when that first came out. He did do a great job on that.

Measure once. Cut twice. Still too short.

well, i did pick up a good tip on the video which was shown after so being aprilFooled was worth it
that being-- how to chalk this line (red) on a piece of 4x8 by yourself.. this little dilemma comes up pretty often on site.

Hi, Jeff:
Considering the amount of use and abuse your structures experience, how often are you called out to do repairs? Do you use a special grade of plywood? I realize the skate truck wheels are soft, but all of that dynamic stress must be significant? -
Pilou, a chalkline is a string in a box full of chalk--commonly blue-- that is used for snapping a line. If the line is hooked on the side of the board as in Jeff's drawing, it is difficult to keep the hook from sliding inless someone holds it or you put a nail in the edge of the board.

With a chalk
There is not an infinity number of possibilities ?
What is unity of 4x8 - meters ?
So take another piece of 4x8 as rule ?

Is that Kito Raup's pencil?
-
So like this with the chalkline?
-
That could work. Or you could tap a nail into the edge of the board maybe. It depends upon what you need to do.
-
The tip that Jeff is referring to is to simply make a knife cut in the edge of the board to trap the string and hold it in place on the angle.
-
Yeah. I figured maybe Pilou would actually watch it.

Don't know if they have a model with Chalkline?
