Tool tips

A couple of tool tips if you decide to follow in my footsteps and build a plumbing pipe desk.

Get a combination square.  This tool will allow you to measure pipe assemblages, like this:

Try to find one that has a long ruler.  I discovered 12 inches is not long enough.

If you are going to do pipe through shelving, like I am, you will also need a hole bit for your electric drill.  There are two kinds of bits:  paddle and saw.  I prefer the saw bit because it should theoretically go through straighter.  The paddle bit could go out of alignment.
