G'day members
I would be interested in the forums thoughts on the comparison between metric & imperial measurment in woodworking. I have had a few occasions when I have cut stock short due to incorrect measurement with a metric tape: I know the rule measure twice cut once. but at times when your moving along into the job that little tip seems to be forgotten at times:especially you are out in the heat with dust blowing around your work site the concentration slacks off a little and I find I end up using more stock than I should. I have now switched back to imperial and I have alleviated the problem so far. Any other member experienced similar frustrations. Maybe I should slow down and take more care in the measuring department, but I do enjoy using imperial.
