I found this handy little trick, call me ignorant, I never seen this before. I am sure someone here has. But say you measure the width of a board at 4 and 3/16 inches. I would want to divide that in half in my head and measure to the center, or you could just do this, using whole numbers, what a no brainer!

tape measure replacement
steamshovel posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
how do I replace the tape in a stanley? tape measure? Thanks Preston -
In Lew's July 12 Wednesday's Wisdom post he posted a video showing a wooden case tape measure being made. I have my front lawn sprayed for weeds and fertilized and the outfit that does it leaves a little trinket each time they come. This time it was a 3' tape measure with a cloth tape. It even has a metric scale on the other side and is spring retractable. I thought I could make a wooden case for it so I did. I turned a Walnut case to fit it and drilled a hole in the center for return button and then made a thin Poplar cap for the other side for a little contrast. I used a threaded rivet and screw to make the retract button. Have a look, it works well.
