Guys, I know there has to be a way to not have to measure every shingle as each row moves up. Does someone have a tip on how to do this without using a ruler?? Thanks Pat -- ***Pat*** Rookie woodworker looking for an education!!! |

are you talking about gauging the shingles as you install them? I used to use chalk lines to set the bottom of the shingle on top of the prior run. -- Paul, Las Vegas |

Guys, I’m talking about doing this in a valley as they rise by the course. Not making my own shingles. Or a straight run. Should have read my own question before posting to see it was not complete. Had alot more info in my original post. -- ***Pat*** Rookie woodworker looking for an education!!! |

Do you mean the distance between rows, so you get a straight line and each line is the same distance apart and it doesn’t look like a drunk laid the shingles? If so, then how about a clapgoard gauge? Stanley made one if you like old tools or you can make your own with a couple of scrap pieces of wood. -- This Ad Space For Sale! Your Ad Here! Reach a targeted audience!
