Overview Measuring and Marking

Hygrometer and Inspection Magnifier

No woodshop should be without the things on this page: With a hygrometer you can monitor the humidity in your workshop far more precisely than you can just going by the "feel" of the air, which is often very deceptive. Most people underestimate the relative humidity by a wide margin, thinking the air is far dryer than it in fact is. Although a magnifying glass is a real help in examining the edges of cutting tools, for instance, too many dismiss them as a luxury. But once you have used a glass like this a couple of times, you will want to have one on always on hand.

Hygrometer with small Thermometer The dial has a diameter of 150 mm (6 inches), and so is big enough not to be missed or ignored if it is placed as it should be: where your glance first falls when you enter the woodshop. The hygrometer can give you a warning of increasing humidity and all the problems this can bring, like rusty tools and too much expansion and contraction in the joints of expensive work benches and other furniture in the shop. The green strip indicates the comfort zone for humans. The small scale near the bottom indicates the temperature on the Celsius scale - itself a good thing to have in the workshop, when estimating open times for glues and resins, for instance. In any case, it is important to know both figures, as the level of tolerable humidity depends on the temperature. More on humidity in the woodshop Made in Japan by Shinwa.
