Make Your Tape Measure 4x More Accurate

Increase the precision and accuracy of your measurements even with a tape measure. The idea is simple. Amplify the measurement, for example by measuring four boards pushed together instead of one, take a measurement, then divide by the total number of boards.
This will allow you to measure down to the nearest 1/64th of an inch rather than 1/16th of an inch with a typical tape measure.

    Nice and quick video. Ideas like this are what woodworkers have used for millenia. So yes! We do need to learn them.

    When I have a 45 deg angle , expect my old friend, root of 2, to show up. I don't know about you but I prefer "rational" friends.

    Yep, the formula I used simplifies to root 2 times x Distance = √(2x²) = √2 * √(x²) = √2 * x
