This challenge is typically not needed when using metric tape measures. Having lived overseas for a number of years I converted to metric use and have almost never used inched and feet since. I invite woodworkers to give the metric system a try for a week to see how you like it.
It’s a slide rule! (Now where did I put my K&E?)
Very helpful, very simple, very easy to do. Wish I’d have known this little tip 50 years ago. Never to late to learn though.
It is a good tip.
Of course, another is to go metric as soon and as often as you can.
Please, drop the metric campaign. Some of us are able to use either type of measurement. Ain’t neither one of them that difficult.
