  1. Dang @Ron Dudelston, you started a fire storm here, look at these replies!
  2. When CalDot went to metric about 15 years ago for all their improvement projects, all the plans were in metric, I had to rewire my brain and my pacing and my visual comprehension of what metric looks like in the field as a land surveyor. For pacing meters, had to take a longer un-natural two step to make a meter, the cut and fills in dirt work were a PITA to get down but got used to it after some time. We normally work in US Survey Foot, so we are working in a foot decimal, as far as the math goes it wasn't that far of a reach to add and subtract on the fly metric, since it was in tenths both US Survey Foot and the Meter. Then when we finally got used to it, they went back to US Survey Foot after a few years, but it wasn't that big of a deal since our local govt jobs were still using US Survey Foot, it was only CalDot that was using Metric, it was common to go between different jobs in a single day, and my brain had to make the metric to survey foot switch during the drive. How'd I survive!
  3. English Ron. It's just natural to me. About the only time I would use metric in woodworking is because something is mentioned in metric or some kind of instruction. I like to peruse the green woodworking community websites out of Europe, a lot, so much of what they discuss is metric, such as tool sizes, etc. But when it comes to my own work, Englis. And of course, whenever I can get away from measuring completely, I will!

  7. Got the side of our house all cleaned up over the weekend, demoed a storage shed and getting a replacement. Replaced some fencing. Back to work today. Last night did our taxes , Fed didn't change from last year, owe about 1500 bucks, we knew it was coming so we put a little away each month for it, but we went from a 64 dollar state refund last year, to a 2400 dollar bill with the State of California! Nothing changed from last year either! OUCH!

The MWTCA only accepts a verified source to support your answer, so one should be submitted with your answer, such as a patent, catalog entry, tool book reference, or a respectable website on the subject.

All answers are welcome, as well as healthy debates regarding "What's It". If a verified and referenced answer is not arrived at by the end of each month's "What's It" project, a random draw will be performed for a "One Year MWTCA Club Membership".
