I agree with both of you. I use a .7mm mechanical pencil. Why: Though Marc recommended .5, I've found that even the fresh-sawn texture of wood grain will tend to snap off your point... so I just have a herd of .7mm in my immediate shop drawer, with extra leads. They hold up to ripple-y wood surfaces or times when you're in a hurry to mark something (ex.: I'm clamping this crap square with my damn hand), and just need where an edge falls.. without destroying the point.

Glad to see I'm not alone. Love my little Milwaukee inch/metric tape for the shop. It seems they stopped making mine in favor of the 6' model. Glad I bought a backup while I could. Mine is a 10ft/3meter and even has an LED flashlight (and magnet) built in I have found very useful at times. As for the bevel gauge I use that to repeat/copy angles often. I ended up getting the cheap General Tools digital one and it is reasonably accurate. I like the digital aspect to log numbers and notes and if I found a higher quality digital, I might get one. However, this one has been doing well for about 15 years and for $32, a good value proposition :) Combo squares are ok, I find them useful for construction. For finer woodworking, the Woodpecker Paolini is my go to and I have 2. Plus my Mirock square is great for scribing distance lines and great price.

Marc, great video, lots of good tips and points. When it comes to layout and marking the Veritas Sliding Square is the most useful tool in my shop. The large reference surface is great for keeping things square and tight, being able to measure length and width while in the same location is great for hole layout or marking tenons. All rule markings go right to the edge of the steel which is very helpful. I hadn't considered using a smaller tape measure but that makes great sense too. Why carry a 26' model when you use the first 8' 99% of the time. Keep up the great work.

I'd recommend checking out a Westcott graph ruler made out of acrylic, it's seriously much better than any other ruler I've ever used for layout. It has markings all the way to the end, works either longways or across the width, is easy to read, and you can reference off of previous marks because it's transparent. Of course it can be cut since it's plastic, but you just have to be careful. Also the big advantage of carpenter's pencils I've found is their ability to continue to make consistent, narrow lines when working with rough stock. A lot of people sharpen them to a point instead of a wedge, but when you sharpen them to a wedge, they last an extremely long time between sharpenings. I typically use them when rough cutting rough sawn pieces since it makes my life easier and waste less material when I can mill multiple small pieces instead of one huge piece.

Spot on everywhere but the marking gauge section, which conflates two types of marking gauges. Cutting gauges, like the ones you showed, are absolutely right for marking face grain. But scratch gauges aren't an alternative tool for doing that task; they're for something else. They're for marking with the grain and for marking end grain. I think most folks have both types of gauges and use each for the task to which it's suited.

This really is a great video. I have only one disagreement in my experience, and that is the dismissal of speed squares as being more practical for construction than for wood workers. My speed square does the job of the adjustable square, bevel gauge and the protractor with one simple streamlined tool. May it's because I rarely make things like dovetails and most of my lines are 90's or 45's, but on I'd rather use the pivot on a speed square than mess with a bevel gauge, and having a tool that's automatically set up for me to rest on the board and draw a clean reliable 90/45 degree line is invaluable for me.

Construction pencils are not flat just so they wouldn't roll away accidentally, they are to give you a specific two different measurements for various works. You use it for example decking where you use the flat side to give you proper wood expansion, or you use the wider part when you make some flooring or you make overcuts for panels and so on. It is a physical measurement tool to allow carpenter/handyman quickly make proper spaces with repeating manner. The challenge is that not all brands are same, as there are couple different sizes. You can example have ¼ inch x ½ inch x 7 inches or 15 mm x 6.3 mm. That cause the thing that in work group everyone is using pens with the same dimension so one isn't building deck with slightly wider (15 mm vs 12.7 mm) than other carpenter etc.

Just for example, save your money for a more premium piece of machinery. A high quality Jointer, Planer, Bandsaw, and Tablesaw will go so much further in improving the Quality of your projects over a fancy set of rulers. Those premium small purchases can add up really fast if you're on a budget. You would be amazed how much use you can get from a well made piece of machinery. Just my rant for the day.

I have to disagree about the carpenter's pencil. Sharpened properly you get a very fine line, and the geometry of the edge - that flattened cross section - will add a significant amount of life to edge as well, several times what a common lead pencil will yield. They are superior for any rough lumber marking. Once a board is smooth, then a mechanical pencil is useful. But ... if you like working with wood such as Douglas Fir, with well differentiated seasonal wood, a 5 mm lead will break readily at the transitions between early and late wood. I use a chisel to sharpen carpenter's pencil, which gives nice control over the angle of tip.
