I'd definitely use a ruler in many cases, and I'm curious about your method. How'd you divide a meter into equal thirds?

Sorry, I didn't express that well. I guess in that specific case I would use a ruler.

Normally I would take measurements from my pre-existing pieces instead of the ruler. It's more accurate because it accommodates for any slight inaccuracies.
