ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a modular framing tool and a method for beam framing. The modular framing tool of the present invention comprises alignment members attached to a common body portion. In one embodiment, the tabs are permanently and rotatably attached with a locking mechanism. Alternatively, the alignment members are removable and selectively positionable. Additionally, the modular framing tool comprises a tool attachment that may be configured to join the body portion to form a T-Square, a framing square, or the like. A leveling apparatus may also be attached to form a large leveling tool. The method comprises attaching or extending the alignment members, receiving the first beam, outlining the alignment members on the first beam, and after removing the tool, attaching a plurality of beams at the locations outlined by the alignment members. The alignment members maybe configured with a width equivalent to the thickness of the beam member to be attached.
