When it comes to projects with precise dimensions and tight tolerances, never convert the units. There will be conversion errors, there will be fractions that get rounded up/down and add up to compound errors which will lead to headaches

The error also gets compounded if you are stacking conversions on conversions (working from the last part rather than a common zero) and multiplied by the number of parts. A single 1/16 is negligible for a lot of things, 60 1/16th is almost 4”

Another thing with the door he made that needed the plain, he could have saved a Lot of issues if he just cut a recess into the bit of the Handle he already had for the plain to fit into and then add two holes to it and three holes to the plain to keep the Handle level with the plain. Yes of course it might look a little off if he doesn't pretty it up but it wouldn't be too bad and the plain wouldnt have been "free floating" making him need to add a brace at the edge of the cabinet with Magnets (if he was afraid it wouldnt easily allow it to turn he could have made the three holes pin holes allowing the wood to still turn). Here is how the plain would look in this case: _ ° I l ° l l ° L l

I am a weaver... married to a woodworker/furniture maker. It is AMAZING how similar these fine crafts are! So much goes in to the planing and prep, tweaking, covering mistakes, etc, to ensure a beautiful, functional final product- literally hours and hours- and then once things come together, it seems to go so quickly. Bravo on the folding desk. I would use this in a second!

Im a machinist so we use decimal measurements instead of fractional but we just divide or multiply by 25.4 for millimeters or 2.54 for centimeters to get our imperial sizes in decimal form. Im also canadian and spent my whole life using metric measurement to then join a trade that uses mostly imperial. But 1 inch is 25.4 mm or 2.54 centimeters and although its very rare to see .254 metres. A program helps for when you do lots of them but thats the basic conversion. And then if you have a drill chart its easy to find your decimal size in imperial and just convert to fractional

You guys also use equipment with crazy precision down the thousandths of an inch. With resolution that high, it almost doesn't matter as long as you make those conversions for the final measurements. I've literally seen guys use a Sharpie to draw a line around the outside of a bearing that was supposed to be a press fit, because it was close. Apparently, the thickness of the markings are a couple of microns thick, so when applied all the way around a bearing gave it double that, which was just what was needed.

Getting wood in imperial sizes is mostly a non-issue for this sort of work since it is very rare that you would make a piece of furniture without removing material, at which point you can easily just work your wood down to a nice metric size.

It has nothing to do with one being more precise than the other. Cus that's not even true. Each unit system has more and more precise units down to the plank length. It's all about the individual skill in making precise cuts and measurements and if you're converting between the two you will need to use sufficient significant figures to end up with an accurate conversion. That being said, the meteric system obviously makes more sense since every unit is base 10.

Some folding stuff is super cool. I have had a concept idea for a travel trailer/motor home this a fold out rooms ( you can google these concepts and products) as they add massive amount of square footage to a trailer where slide outs do not. The only thing is they offer no way for furniture in it. For example you can add a room about 8 feet wide by 7 feet deep and 7 feet tall in a standard size trailer with a ceiling height of 8 foot. When folded up it would only take up about 1 foot thick on the interior space and could offer a whole host of furniture option built in to the walls and stored in to the walls. If you account for the roof, floor, side walls and the front wall being 3 inches thick. Go a bit thicker for more storage spaces. You could pretty much get 2 layers of 3/4" plywood folding stuff out of it. Everything stored right in part of the wall and or folds out from the wall. The idea is there and while it might take you longer to set up you could very well have a 40 foot trailer that normally has around 300 square feet of area expand to nearly 900. This is the size of a small apartment. In theory you could have a 3 bedroom 1 bath and kitchen with dining room and living room in a trailer. The options are endless. Then if you were to put solar on the roof and then solar on the walls ( the walls become roof when you expand ) you could have a really nice solar array of nearly 15kwh.

Very nice build. Super entertaining video. Not the most practical table, but great fun to watch you build it. I have an idea for a build (or carve...), but I am not sure, I can explain it; from 1 piece of wood cut 3 (or more) interlocking/interlacing/interlinking pieces (each piece do what chain links do). Once cut, you should be able to tilt the 3 (or more) pieces out into a double cone shape, with the two cone tips on top of each other. When closed, they lie next to each other in the length of the original piece of wood - much longer than wide, for instance 20 " to 30" long, but only 4" x 4' square. Flipped out into the double cone shape it should be able to function as legs for a small coffee table. I hope, that makes sense. It might have a name, but I don't know it.

Look, I don't know what all those lines on a ruler are in between the quarter inches, and now I'll never need to. Thanks metric!

2 things: I feel like making the door a solid rectangular piece and then cutting out the triangles would simplify the joinery. Also, this would make a badass kit that you could batch out on a CNC and sell online. As someone who only makes things out of 2x4s and garbage scrap wood, this was mind boggling to watch.

Measuring in none freedom units is way easier and you don't have all the annoying fractions. Maybe it would help with accuracy in the shop😅

Doesn't really help if they work with "monarchy worship" tooling and in environments scaled to it but maybe we should popularise that wording to help confused individuals to move away from those issues

It does not matter what units you use, what does matter is knowing how to use them. You can have decimilised imperial so fraction are just the common method. The only area where metric is actually better is in calculations with measurments and in scaling projects. As metric is base a 10 measure system.

When I clean the edge from lexan I always use tin snips, cut a small piece of sheet metal material and the natural curl from the snips makes a scraper that will clean up that edge nicely. No sanding needed.
