The Essential Calligraphy Ruler

Just remember to use a mechanical pencil, a normal pencil doesn’t work well!

Useful tool but too small

Interesting product, but it’s small!

Easy to use, time saving device. Works best with a mechanical pencil. Height of ascenders and descenders can be varied by using different column from chosen x height. The 55 degree slant angle useful...if the other 3 corners could be shaped to say 10 20 and 30 degrees😀, though I guess the payoff would be an increase to the overall size of the ruler.

For short quotes with few lines, this is useful. However for longer pieces, it’s a bit hard to draw more lines on page.

So easy to use …. Simple clear and precise. Totally brilliant!!! Thanks Tom

I love this little ruler. I’m a novice and straight lines when I practice is important. It normally takes me ages to draw them when working on plain paper but this saves so much time.

Was impressed with the ruler, I’m still learning and trying the different size lines. But so far so good, when I master this I might get the other one

A big help for drawing the lines for calligraphy, and simple to use. Only drawback is that it requires a very fine, long pencil lead to use it, which can have a tendency to break.

Perfect, really handy tool :)

Malgré que ce n’est qu’une tout petite commande, elle a été préparée et envoyée avec Amour et beaucoup de soins méticuleux! Félicitations. Recommandé 100% Tom’s Studio.

I can’t believe I’ve only just found out about this ruler - such a time saver and brilliant for coloured envelopes. A great tool

I can’t really understand how to use the ruler, and you need a propelling pencil to be able to draw the lines. I’m finding it over complicated and the video isn’t too useful as you see more of the illustrators hand that the actual process!

This ruler had been recommended and I am extremely pleased with how quick, easy and time saving it is, absolutely brilliant 🤩

I bought the Engrosser Ruler by Aquino da Silva from Tom’s Studio, and it has quickly become one of my favourite calligraphy tools. It’s incredibly useful for drawing guidelines—precise, efficient, and easy to use. The design is thoughtful and practical, making it ideal for both practice and professional work. I highly recommend it to any calligrapher looking to streamline their setup!

Love this ruler. Tom’s Studio amazing service. Fast delivery. Thank you.

While this gadget may appear a little mystifying at first sight, the instructions (Youtube) were very clear and helpful. Having lost (misplaced) my first one I had to get another, which has served me well. In between times I was measuring distances with an ordinary ruler, as I was using paper that was too thick to have an underlying template; believe me - the gadget is FAR better!) Practise a couple of times and then you’re well away. Good idea to use a mechanical pencil as the lead is finer and will go through the holes.

Cool

Would definitely recommend, quick and easy to use.

Recently purchased and has saved me either purchasing practice books or photo copying practice sheets. Took a couple of go's to get used to it. Easy to follow video if needed.

Impresively quick :) happy 100% recomend

Nifty and useful little gadget.

I’m learning to use it following the videos on the page, but so far I am happily with it and glad I was able to get one.

ve ry pleased with the items she gave us a demo as to how the ruler works, very clever

Have used my calligraphy ruler to help me in writing gift tags to go with Christmas presents and am looking forward to using it much more in the future.

P.s. I have sent you a email but still waiting to hear back from you.
I have purchased the pen which tightens depending on what nib I use. But I seem to have trouble with the mechanism, it's too lose and the nibs keep falling out.
Can I please send it back and get a replacement please?

Thanks Tom
Much appreciated

Absolutely delighted with this ruler. So handy. Game changer for sure! Best 15 pounds I have invested

The Essential Calligraphy Ruler

Before getting the calligraphy ruler, I have drawn guidelines with regular ruler, and protractor…. It felt taking forever, and that’s even before I start working on calligraphy.
However, with this calligraphy ruler, I can spend longer time and concentrate on calligraphy itself by shortening the time to get guidelines ready.
I would say this is a vital item for calligraphers who frequently writes on plain paper.

I ordered a calligraphy ruler and was happy that this was despatched in good time. However, it wasn't delivered. Tom's Studio didn't quibble, but said they'd try to get a replacement when new stock arrived. In the meantime, they found a replacement in their office and posted it to me by tracked 48 hour mail. This arrived after 6 days due to the Post Office strike, together with the initial one posted some 19 days before. At all times Tom's Office (Jason) were helpful and responded to me in good time. My wife is now busily drawing up 120 place cards for our friend's daughter's wedding on New Years Eve. Thank you Jason and Tom's Office.

A great idea and time-saver!
