{"product_id":"jack-richeson-aluminum-caliper","title":"Aluminum Caliper","description":"\u003cp\u003eMeasuring proportions by eye eventually fails when you need genuine accuracy. These aluminum calipers eliminate guesswork, translating three-dimensional forms into precise measurements for sculpture, figure drawing, and anatomical studies. Lightweight construction means you can hold them steady during extended measurement sessions without hand fatigue affecting your readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe caliper's dual sliding arms lock into position once you've captured a measurement, letting you transfer dimensions directly from reference to work surface. Particularly valuable when scaling models up or down, capture the distance between anatomical landmarks on a small maquette, then multiply that measurement for larger work. The aluminum body resists warping and maintains calibration better than plastic alternatives while remaining light enough for single-handed operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortrait sculptors use these to verify skull proportions and facial feature placement. Figure drawers employ them to check relative distances between joints and anatomical points. The tool provides objective data when your eye starts playing tricks during long sessions, catching subtle proportion errors before they become major corrections. Simple mechanics, reliable function, no batteries required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jack Richeson","offers":[{"title":"12 in.","offer_id":48102321258725,"sku":"21579","price":16.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/jack-richeson-aluminum-caliper","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
