Thank you for making this so simple without using demeaning words. I am a welding instructor and you just wont believe how many students want to become welders yet they cannot read a tape measure. I was looking for a video that i could upload for them to use without their lack of knowledge being spread or without someone in a video saying things that are demeaning. Thank you

Me too

Howdy and Happy New Year. This was an excellent instructional video and I've learned a lot of new things. I came looking for accurate ways to measure items for 1:12 scale mini's and found you. I'm looking forward to your other videos because this was so very well laid out and explained. Thanks (I love learning new stuff).

Thanks for you excellence introduction of tape measure. It’s well uderstanding and better any other vedios. I took advantages of this.

Thank you for making this video. It explains a lot more easier to understand then the other videos love it.

Thank you very much. This was very helpful.

Very well done. So nicely explained. I am trying to learn how to read this for sewing. Thank you. Awesome video!

Great video. I learned using a tape measure when I was a kid. I have a small woodshop where I've converted to metric though. Still have to use imperial everywhere else though.

Learning from your material thank you kindly 💯

Thank ypu

Always something new to learn

Thanks for sharing

Tip anytime you want to know half of a fraction just double the denominator and no the hook should be hooked and pull taught to read and if maleasuring on the inside of something it should be butted up the hook moves to compensate for this

Sooo happy to be in a Country that uses Metric.

Thank you for this video

grat training video. Thank you.👍👍👍

Great information 👍🏼👌❤️

Agreed

Thank you for this!

Good job keep going sir ❤❤

Got me feeling like I can go build a house now thank you 😂

Hi Nice video. Thanks

Just wondering if they had divided an inch in 10 equal parts rather than 16 it would made everyone's life easy

Wonderful!

Thanks

THAS RIGHT!!!!

Ok sir

I can't even do basic maths and I don't even understand this I am dumb as fuck

❤

Great but how do you explain that for small measurements, you suddenly switch to the decimal system (thousands of an inch)😮 why not keep fraction i.e 1/1024 of an inch for example 😂

😊

I have a foot I cut it in half and and 1/8

tape measure

Don't wast time in a old measurement system .... better go with metric ....😄😄😄

What the heck? What's wrong with metric ? 10mm= 1cm, 100cm=1 meter,

Why 1inch is 8 sections? Why not 10 to simplify things, then 1/16 then 2/32 WHAAAAAAAAT?

Metric system! Surely its obvious even to Americans that it's easier?..
