I think that people who are good at art have that special "eye"---so please help me; do woodworkers also have to have a special "eye"to make some thong decent?
Grabbing in the dark where to start ,I looked at this Ted's Woodworking Review
but it looks a bit complicated--maybe not to the experts.
Please send advice

Ted's site(S) IS A SCAM AND STAYING AWAY IS THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO. I think there may have been a recent thread on this or at least posts in a related thread.

@christayl, stay away from "teds". they just sell plans that are freely available. scam of the highest degree. I'd like to hope you're not just here to spread that.

What everybody else has said X2. HERE is a simple set of search results in Google.

I was born in 1971
So I’m mostly metric ,tho I can do imperial kind off,
Like I know one inch, 1/8, a foot ,that’s about it.

But now I’m all confused, saw this on a Facebook site.



I think I’m just going to hide back under the bed for the rest off 2020 it’s just too weird.[emoji3064]

Cheers Matt.

Surely it's a combination hex key; one end is 5mm and the other end is 16mm

Matt I really want to buy that !

yeah ok no i don't but wouldn't it be fun to measure it and see that it's nothing like any of the possible sizes !

I don’t know anything about type casting.
I think that’s the term, but even the MM looks kind of not right.

It would be interesting to actually measure it ?

Cheers Matt.

Matt

Should be lower case "mm" to depict millimeters? The only thing I can think of it is one of those puzzles developed for self isolation during the virus. However, it could be enough to make you sick.

Ps: Would you be measuring in imperial or metric?

"Like I know one inch, 1/8, a foot ,that’s about it."
Good one Matt, I was born in 1948 so I know that one inch is 1/12 of a foot.
Cheers,
Geoff.

Hey Matt, nothing wrong with that at all, makes perfect sense, 5/16 mm is factory speak for machine malfunction and/or my mistake

Ray,
Your spot on,I was being extremely narrow minded.

In the oil game if a refinery has an "unexpected outage" its public relations speak for major screw up that resulted in a large fire - probably with an explosion.

Having a sticky beak at planes on the bay and saw this.

Trying to figure out its use. Looks home made but what does the brass plate do. Looks to be on the wrong side to me.
