What happens here

Using the combined Morgan Square and tape measure, the presenter demonstrates how to accurately mark for stud placement. By pulling the tape measure out to the 16-inch mark and aligning it with the center line on the Morgan Square, one can easily mark both sides of where a stud will be. The tool's design automatically accounts for the standard 1.5-inch width of a stud, ensuring consistent 16-inch on-center spacing, as the 'tongue' of the square provides this offset.

Goal: Accurately mark positions for wall studs at 16 inches on-center
