Knew an old cabinet maker who swore by his trusty 30 year old folding stick ruler. Unfortunately the modern ones are terribly inaccurate !
Get the Sola (or hultafors) BigT. It's accurately calibrated and all tapes are exactly the same in every measurer. It's quite expensive, but it has some good features. I'm using mine on the dayly basis in a professional setting for 7 years now. Still accurate to the milimeter.
You’re right about the accuracy of the folding rules but they still are useful (if the folding hinges are tight) if you ignore the digital markings and make your own pencil marks like you would on a story stick. The same goes for some tapes that are made with pencil friendly surface material.
@@garyfairbrother5532 The German carpenters still prefer the folding rulers. "Hoch die Zimmerkunst" (it's on my traditional German belt buckle)
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Seen other creators test tape measures, sometimes if you are not using the same type your measurements can be off.
Not all tape measures are created equal.
Very correct.
yep
have made a framing with a pal
both using our tape measure telling each other what length and so
the boards were different by some mm
when we compared both in 5m the tapes were of by 2mm
Many the awe inspiring cathedrals and churches were constructed with in site measure bars that established the project’s unit and half unit.
That’s a great tape measure. Easy to read, smooth mechanism, and I love the scratch pad.
My rule is that tape measures are great for building dog houses and shopping for boards the right width at Rockler but not so much for cabinets, gift boxes or anything else that you don’t want to have gaps. 😊
So right about using story sticks and piece marking. If it’s not possible to bring the piece to be marked for the fit, I use an adjustable bar gauge which is also an easier way to set a table saw fence.
When working on a project, I like to measure 1 piece of wood twice, cut once, then use that piece as my guide for other pieces that are the same size. It has never failed me, and I always get clean, accurate, perfectly portioned sizes for everything to be the exact sizes needed.
I've sworn by a folding rule for a decade. Now I use a marking knife along with it! But the story stick is obviously more accurate.
Try ticker tape, the stuff that came out of those old machines with stock prices printed on them. The tape is more fragile but it is easier to ship.
I used it to check diagonals on the drawing board.
Ticker tape is about the same weight as masking tape without the adhesive.
I call mine a scribe. It's the first cut piece used to mark all the rest. 😊also always burn an inch on any ruler
Still makes a good story though
I do ornamental metal fabrication, mechanics and fitting. Lots of Starrett scales, calipers, dividers, double hermaphrodite calipers trammel points... And sometimes tape measures
as long as you hold it straight. If not it will be way further off than any tape measurer could provide
You have the exact same problem with tape measures. Often more so because they have a smaller lip make it easier to turn
@@WoodByWrightHowToThey can droop, bend, hook not be seated right, twisted.. Also most tapes are slightly different from one another. Of I make a measurement on my tape and someone else cuts the part with their tape, could be different
@@StevOPelORight on, use the actual work piece marked by registering it to the project piece or if that’s not possible use a bar gauge which is also a sure fire, accurate way to set your saw fence. The eye don’t lie!!!
Anyone who buys clothes over the internet finds out that real quick that different countries have different opinions of what small, medium and large is. Same with tape measure manufacturers, lol.
A lot of my simple projects are completely unmeasured
So long as you know how to mark it so the edge of your line is correct, you are fine. Experience over everything for the win.
6.3 inches!?!?!?! What kind of person uses decimals with inches? Take that sort of sensible measurements to metric!
It’s just James funny way of exposing his metric preference…
There is no such thing as an absolute measurement 1 meter doesnt exist. Your tape maesure is jusr comparing how long the thing is to how long the thing we define as a meter is (even feet snd inches use metric as its basis)
So when you measure with a tape measure, your comparing the two pieces to it, that tape measure was made by comparing it to another reference which in the best case scenario was compared tk the standard
Vs
1 comparison for using the actual object itself
There are slways inaccuracies when making comparisons, the best way to make something accurate is to reduce the number of comparisons to the reference
So if you need multiple copies of a thing. Always use the same thing to mark it each time, dont use a copy you already made
If you use the same tape and the same saw to mark something that you are used to cutting, you can get incredible accuracy.
I do this with windows and other glazing systes all the time, where a 16th" error will mean needing to redo something. You just have to use an intelligent, repeatable process.
That measurement can be wrong also.
The more you tilt the piece you are cutting the longer it will be when you mark it.
He would have the exact same problem with a tape measure. And more often as it has a narrow lip that doesn't register as well.
Right… so should we tell NASA that? 😂
they better be using something better then a tape measure!
If you want better accuracy, go metric.
Lol. Won't help accuracy much but it will make it easier to calculate if you actually want to care about the numbers.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo
Metric made me a better conduit bender.
It's way easier to find 0.7 of a centimeter than it is an inch.
Use both 🙄
Maybe learn how to USE a tap measure .
Or buy a good tape measure, the kind he is using doesn't have a sliding tip so if you tranfer inside to outside you will be off.
