In Lew's July 12 Wednesday's Wisdom post he posted a video showing a wooden case tape measure being made. I have my front lawn sprayed for weeds and fertilized and the outfit that does it leaves a little trinket each time they come. This time it was a 3' tape measure with a cloth tape. It even has a metric scale on the other side and is spring retractable. I thought I could make a wooden case for it so I did. I turned a Walnut case to fit it and drilled a hole in the center for return button and then made a thin Poplar cap for the other side for a little contrast. I used a threaded rivet and screw to make the retract button. Have a look, it works well.
