Question 2

what size orange peel does this make?

Accepted Answer

Use the Creative Grids® Round Up tool for rounding corners on placemats, table runners and quilts. Gentle curves in two sizes are easy to bind - no need to stop and turn at each corner! You can also cut 8 or 10 inch circles for potholders and applique. Cut drunkard's path, orange peel or petal shapes for appliqu2. Cut Circles
Align the straight edges of the Round Up Tool with the edges of a square.
Trim the curve with a rotary cutter. Rotate the fabric one-quarter turn and
trim the next corner. Repeat at each corner to make a circle.
(Terry’s Tip: The drilled hole will be at the center of the circle.)
8” circle: Use the small curve on an 8” square. 
10” circle: Use the large curve on a 10” square. 
3. Cut Drunkard’s Path Shapes for Applique from
5” squares
Align the solid lines on the Round Up Tool with the edges of a 5” square.
Trim the curve with a rotary cutter to cut a quarter circle. Applique this
quarter circle onto a larger square to create a drunkard's path unit.
4. Cut Orange Peel Shapes from 5” squares
Align the solid lines on the Round Up Tool with the edges of a 5” square.
Trim the curve with a rotary cutter. 
Rotate the fabric and align the curved line on the tool with the trimmed
edge. Trim the curve with a rotary cutter to complete the shape. 
5. Cut Petal Shapes from 7” squares
Align the straight edges of the Round Up Tool with the edges of a square
at the corner. Trim the curve with a rotary cutter. Rotate the fabric and trim
the opposite corner. (Terry’s Tip: The small or large curve may be used.)

Question 3

What is the thickness of the tool?

Accepted Answer

Same as all the other Creative Grids rulers.  It wouldn't be thick enough for  long arm quilting ruler if that's what you're thinking.

Question 4

How do you use this ruler to cut drunkards path blocks? I can see how to cut the "pie" shape, what about the other half of the drunkards path block?

Accepted Answer

This tool only cuts the pie shaped portion of drunkard's path blocks. It's not a dedicated drunkard's path ruler. You can see a video using the ruler here: https://www.creativegridsusa.com/products/CGRATK1.
