Re: The Book of Toxic Waste Barrel Custom Tutorial
A divider is what we call the tool that is used to recreate the distance between two points. While a Caliper measures the actual distance. For paper we would just call it a compass.

Re: The Book of Toxic Waste Barrel Custom Tutorial
I've never seen one of those before in my life. I've seen tons of compasses, but they all had a point on one end and a pencil on the other, used for drawing circles on paper. They're a major symbol in Freemasonry as well.

What's throwing everyine off is the end of yours. Yours has a point or blade on both ends. Ours have a point to put in the center of the circle, but a small pencil clamps to the other end and they're used to draw a circle. I've never seen a variation on that before but it makes sense that you could use it to cut with too. Do you call it a divider because it is cutting (dividing the paper) or measuring (dividing numbers?) |

You would use a compass to plot on a map, or to generate circles in a child's art class. But you use a divider to scar material for proper measurement without needed to repeatedly measure again and again. Some people use dividers as a form of caliper where you check for size in comparison to a previously measured length. You might say measure a 3 inch pipe with your divider and then just take the divider and compare it to 300 other widths of pipe. That would save you 299 times you might have to pull out your measuring tape. “Have you ever hoped for something? And held out for it against all the odds? Until everything you did was ridiculous? "
