Please allow up to 7 days for processing as I have limited stock on hand and most are made to order.


The Plywood used has a tendency to warp it does not affect the accuracy.

You are welcome to use a Sanding sealer on both sides of the ruler and clamp or weight it flat till dry.

I try my best to package it well so they do not get damaged by USPS, but things happen.

Just let me know with photos and I'll try to make it right. 


Soylent car in the Photos is not included with the ruler, but I am working on decals that will be available for purchase in the future.

Other Scales are in the works, if there is one you would like please reach out and let me know I may already have it in the design phase.
