Does anyone know what this tool seen at 4:48 is called? I tried searching for various names of what I thought it might be called but can't find anything. Or a similar tool would be fine - basically something that you can attach different size spacers depending on what gap you need.

    I don't know what the tool is called. but equal spacing can be accomplished with a desired size nail, screw, shim, or scrap wood...or many other things.

  • "Spacer" seems a good name. As in "Pass me the 1" spacer"

  • @jsotola I'm familiar with using feeler gauges to measure a gap; can you explain a situation where a feeler gauge is used to set a gap?

  • if you cannot measure a gap, then you cannot set it to a desired distance
