My Deck ade the Halls Gingerbread Man
I am working on my gingerbread man and none of my block are coming out right, side are long and some are short.
I have a creative grids ruler 8 in x 24 in. Think I am not sure where the 1/8" marking is. My ruler is labeled
1 - 1/4 - 1/2 - 3/4 - 2. Can some one tell me where the 1/8th marking should be. Thanks in advance for your help.

My favourite rulers are Omnigrid. They have nice little 1/8 marks highlighted in yellow all along the sides. If your ruler only has 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 marks then the 1/8ths would be halfway between each of the marks.

I have a Creative Ruler also, but not the size you have. Mine is marked for 1/8. Maybe you could put it beside one of your rulers that does have the 1/8 marked and draw a little line with a Sharpie marker. Good luck, I know that is frustrating.
P.S. Thanks for the woodzone site, my son is about to take a carpentry class and this might come in handy for him.
