It's really awesome that you love this game. I love it too!
We really don't need power tools. Also there is already a tape measure in the game. If you're in the large free play level, then look under the work bench.
Wooden Robot (lone developer) is still working on the game and is adding in new tools such as a mitre-box to assist in getting straighter, longer cuts.
But even then, power tools won't stop us from building larger and more complex projects either.
Take my latest project i'm working on for example: https://youtu.be/VYw1eUk9XVg
or my first 2 projects since the launch of the game: https://youtu.be/FFZlYlI7wLI
You're only limited by your patience and imagination.

Just a question, how did you for example, work on the roof, did you build a temporary scaffolding?

You mean you haven't watched my videos? All 100 hours of footage? Haha.
I built the roof on the ground and then used my super strength and teleport abilities to put it into place on top of the house frame. Please watch my videos if you actually are curious.
Thanks for watching regardless and hope you're still playing and having a heap of fun!
