why the ezl matters
the ezl (easy layout) is a precision layout tool with built-in common timber frame dimensions, a quick tenon width check, and fast layout slots for 1 1/2″ and 2″ mortises. mark tenons, mortises, housings, and reference points without flipping, re-measuring, or second-guessing.

why the ezb matters
the ezb (easy brace) lays out a knee brace in under a minute. set it, mark it, and cut it — perfect every time. no templates, no angle calculations, no rework.

why the ezt matters
the ezt (easy tenon) confirms both tenon width and mortise depth before you cut. it’s the fast, foolproof way to avoid sloppy fits and wasted timbers.
