Haha thanks This is nothing compared to what I used to do for a living. Framer.

I did woodwork last year and i made a cabinet that was pretty big, its in my room now.. From memory its about 1600mm wide, 600mm deep and 1200mm high.. Has three draws, two doors and yeah.

Took me a whole year to make (because it was our "big project" for the last year of school) and that is only 4 classes a week, 3 x 50 minutes and 1 x 100 minutes.. And i was pretty lazy

I hate mm. We use inches and feet ere.

[Blinger1]

I don't use that, not with measuring stuff like this, but for heights (people) we do both

[Dentafrice]

We measure stuff like this in feet and inches. Way easier imo, but metric is alright.. all based on ten.

1' 5" is easier I think to me.

[Blinger1]

Wouldn't know how many cm/mm that is. I hate how big it can get though, like 1200mm is a lot, I am sure 3"10' would be easier (I made that number up)

[Dentafrice]

haha, you've got it mixed up.

' = foot
" = inch.

12 inch = 1 foot (if you didn't know.. not calling you stupid or anything lol).

So like 3' 10" = 3 feet 10 inches, = 46inches
.
Tape measures are so easy to use here

12 inch = 1 foot (if you didn't know.. not calling you stupid or anything lol).

I know that one becUse a 30cm ruler has 12 inches on the other side
tape measures are easy to use in aus too, we have both cm and inches

[Dentafrice]

Same, our rulers have CM and inches, we usually use inches though.

I've had to convert metric to standard before, when doing industrial drawings.. that's never fun :\
