The “Rulers of the Ancient World” project seeks to create period-correct rulers from ancient empires like Egypt, Rome, Japan, and France. These rulers are meticulously made by combining traditional handwork and CNC milling, resulting in unique pieces of art. The French “Roubo Fathom” ruler is based on an 18th-century measurement used in woodworking. The project also includes rulers based on Roman, Egyptian, and Japanese measurement systems, each with their unique history and features. Controversy arises with the different measurement units used in ancient civilizations. Each ruler is crafted with precision and attention to detail, offering a tactile connection to history and toolmaking beauty.
