    Do you use a logbook ruler or a regular clear ruler or even a wooden ruler or are you a super stud and freehand? Swift came in and gave their spiel and handed out logbook rulers. I was just curious what you all use.

    i just use a 6" clear plastic ruler, any straight edge will work or you can do it freehand too... But using a ruler makes for a neater looking page which keeps safety happier.... oh and btw the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, if you don't know the answer then ask, there are probably a couple dozen people afraid to ask for fear of looking stupid so you help them also..... and someone will tell ya, man , i am sure glad you asked that cause i didn't wanna look dumb asking it myself. lol

    On that note, being a left handed person, I've noticed the examples all slant backwards for me. Don't think it'd be any problems to slant them the other way, which will make it much more natural for a left-handed person, but since this is a 'stupid log book question' thread, figure you wouldn't mind me asking. Of course, I figure I'll probably mostly use electronic logs, but don't want to count on it.

    Oh man, you have to turn the book almost upside down just so you can slant the way of a righty.
