Thank you for making this so simple without using demeaning words. I am a welding instructor and you just wont believe how many students want to become welders yet they cannot read a tape measure. I was looking for a video that i could upload for them to use without their lack of knowledge being spread or without someone in a video saying things that are demeaning. Thank you
This was awesome. You are the first person I have ever come across that actually explained it in a way that made it so easy to understand. Where the heck were you back in school lol. THANK YOU, more I need to check out your other videos. 👍🏻😊
i just took a framing job and have been trying to learn and study a tape measure before i start and i have watched so many videos and had trouble understanding it/and retaining the information but this is broken down well and the presentation is great , this videos you made is amazing and has helped me alot. thank you.
Awesome video! I just scored amazing luck and got into the custom cabinets trade with no prior experience, this channel is gonna be a big help I can tell
I am indebted to you good sir, I had no clue how to read a tape measure before now I can say confidently I can read it flawlessly. Thank you for such an amazing video and the effort you put in to make it.
Howdy and Happy New Year. This was an excellent instructional video and I've learned a lot of new things. I came looking for accurate ways to measure items for 1:12 scale mini's and found you. I'm looking forward to your other videos because this was so very well laid out and explained. Thanks (I love learning new stuff).
Love this. Late husband tired to teach me but I always just say it’s 1 with three lines 😂 scary that I build stuff and I’m pretty good at it but I just can’t read the tape measure and sound so stupid. Thank you for dummying it down. 😊
I've heard it said, why learn fractions since we will never use them in our daily lives. Carpentry is all about fractions, decimals, angles, and curves. Thanks for your Comment.
I like this video for so many reasons.... I wish I had thought of using UA-cam as a training tool for my staff.... This video would be on it.... ORRRR. Is it how to pass fractions test😊❤
Great video. I learned using a tape measure when I was a kid. I have a small woodshop where I've converted to metric though. Still have to use imperial everywhere else though.
Tip anytime you want to know half of a fraction just double the denominator and no the hook should be hooked and pull taught to read and if maleasuring on the inside of something it should be butted up the hook moves to compensate for this
Great but how do you explain that for small measurements, you suddenly switch to the decimal system (thousands of an inch)😮 why not keep fraction i.e 1/1024 of an inch for example 😂

That's great! We're glad we could help!
@@cabinettalk8399 Wow, lol.
I’m in welding school
Thought I knew how to read a tape measure but I always blank out when dealing with fractions. Finally understand it
Yes, I always blank out too!! Good education video!!
@@Julie-yw7kxI feel you 😅
In school for carpentry and I didn’t know how to read a tape measure , after watching multiple videos this is the only one that helped me. Thank you.
first one i clicked on thankfully xp but same.

YOU'RE "THE BEST" MATH TEACHER IN "THE WORLD"!("YOU ROCK"!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉)

Thank you! Very well done video. I am a bit autistic when it comes to learning things and this was very easy to understand and put to use immediately.
Best way I’ve ever seen it simplified for the beginner. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I am math phobic at 65 and have found this very useful.
Thank you for making this video. It explains a lot more easier to understand then the other videos love it.
Doesn't get any more simple than this. If you don't understand from this explanation, then you're screwed
im screwed
Same

Learn some ways how to read my tape measure well done sir⁹
Ypu're a Great Math teacher.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Always something new to learn
I've heard it said, why learn fractions since we will never use them in our daily lives. Carpentry is all about fractions, decimals, angles, and curves. Thanks for your Comment.
What was so much more helpful than how my teacher explain the thank you

Agreed
I like this video for so many reasons....
I wish I had thought of using UA-cam as a training tool for my staff....
This video would be on it....
ORRRR.
Is it how to pass fractions test😊❤
Baking measurements basic math for the left brain that's me guilty I am left brain creative with motor skills that are necessary to use math nice work
Sooo happy to be in a Country that uses Metric.
Is all coming back Thank you awesome
Thank you very much bro for the tips .now i can read tape measure very well
Thank you.
Love that a slow learner like me is still confused just love it 😭🫠
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank ypu
Love it accurate teach!
Great video. I learned using a tape measure when I was a kid. I have a small woodshop where I've converted to metric though. Still have to use imperial everywhere else though.
Our cabinet suppliers are split, so we use both as well. Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Nice video. Thanks
I am dyslexic THANK YOU!!!
Thanks
Good, thanks a lot. I really love your teaching sir. Am into upholstery furniture, once again thank you..
Just wondering if they had divided an inch in 10 equal parts rather than 16 it would made everyone's life easy
Thank you😢so much
Wonderful!
So much easier 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
hi, where's the 2/2 , the one that use on 1/8 came? is it given formula? thanks
Tip anytime you want to know half of a fraction just double the denominator and no the hook should be hooked and pull taught to read and if maleasuring on the inside of something it should be butted up the hook moves to compensate for this
Why are we dividing by 2? Where did the 2 come from?
Ok sir
Great but how do you explain that for small measurements, you suddenly switch to the decimal system (thousands of an inch)😮 why not keep fraction i.e 1/1024 of an inch for example 😂
Got me feeling like I can go build a house now thank you 😂
When i needed precise i using metrical tape its much easier.
I can't even do basic maths and I don't even understand this I am dumb as fuck
THAS RIGHT!!!!
tape measure
I have a foot I cut it in half and and 1/8
❤

What the heck? What's wrong with metric ? 10mm= 1cm, 100cm=1 meter,
Just stick with decimal numbers 😊
Why 1inch is 8 sections? Why not 10 to simplify things, then 1/16 then 2/32 WHAAAAAAAAT?
Don't wast time in a old measurement system .... better go with metric ....😄😄😄
Metric system! Surely its obvious even to Americans that it's easier?..
Metric is dummies
So confusing.
Thank you.
