I know u mean good with thiz video but u could of made it more simple. You threw alotta algebra in there which im sure you ran off alotta dummies out there.
Thanks for the explanation. I am Portuguese, and we use the meter to measure things. It is the first time I see the explanation how to measure in inches, and I have 53 years. I was still in time to learn something. I need to see the video more times to remember. I can speak English but it's hard to write without errors, so I used the Google translator.
Thank you very much. Your video is very helpful--I can finally read a tape measure!!!!!!! And when it comes time to explain to my son, I can teach him!!!
James I liked your video. I've watched 3 now and like yours' best. I can't remember all the different marks but I can remember 16ths and Least Common Denominater. And I love your wife's shortcut. Thanks!
can you do one in mm i know mm is not hard but i would like to know some tips when dealing with a lot of mm i use mm when i shave steal and i am slow at mm
I sat in front of this computer for 4 hrs watching videos how to measure, because I am 34 with college degree and cant read a measure......my 7 year old has even tried helping me. I am getting a job in a factory and the job requires reading a tape measure, it was your video that made me understand how to do this easily! Too bad I didn't have your number, I would be calling you for everything! Thank You for the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow you did an awesome job!!! I didn't know this stuff but I do now and I do know how to divide so it's even better for me,love this video I'm interested in more thank ;)
thank u very much james! im starting my new job that requires me knowing how to read a tape measure, i didn't kno much except inches and half inch thanks again well done!!
Hi James, Super vid, thanks so much for finally demystifying the dreaded tape measure for me! I just tried to find your website, and only crown millwork sites (without the capital letters and the hyphen) show up. Could you provide a clickable link? Thanks again - please keep making videos!
Very helpful its been years since I done centimeter measurements I work at a plant that deals with measurement of centimeters but I never really knew a simple way to do it u made it easier than when my teacher taught it thanks alot u did a great job I never knew was as simple as puttin a number of 16 and reducing it with the LCD lol
cool man nice video on reading a tape measure help me out alot keep makin ur videos its funny as a kid I didnt like math, now that im grown I cant get enough
Thank you so much for this video. Ian about to get a job that is going to require me to read tape measures and iam 18 years old and I just learned how to with your video. Thanks!!!
thanks, great video.......im a new student in welding, so we do a lot of measurement, now i just finally really learned how to read a tape measure instead of trying to memorize it....
You were very good up until 3:16, the wife not knowing or gets confused bit was a nice added touch; However when u went backwards it threw me off. Then you stated no needs to actually memorize anything other than just whatever blahblahblah. Think that's wrong. ONE MUST know FRACTIONS which will always be very helpful.
it's a lot easier to count the space in between the lines, than the lines themselves. For example there are seven divisions before the 7/8 of an inch line.
Thank you James so much! Wow it's so simple now. I am a 55 year old woman and never could get it. I worked in a machine shop for years and several guys tried to help me with no luck. I watched your video and it was like the light went on and I GOT IT! Wow how simple is that? I got it watching the first time. You made it so simple and made me feel better just knowing I could say 10/16 if I wanted to and my carpenter would know exactly what I need. No math needed. Thank you Thank you
James! Thank you thank you thank you. I am a 55 year old woman. I have never understood how to read tape measures! I worked in a machine shop for 20 years and still couldn't get it. You made it so simple. I got it the first time I read it. It's so simple NOW. You really explained it perfectly.
BRAVO!! other sites dont explain how you calculate 16 in to fractions, and just by using a number over 16 is perfect!!!! thank you so much! now if I want to reduce it or just leave it over 16 i can. thank you so much for your tutorial!
OMg life saver i start working tomorrow with a carpenter as helper and i thought to myself, dang i dont know how to read accurately a tape measure. i saw other videos and got a head ache but this was plain and simple
Thanks A LOT I was stressing bad about an application I had put in for a job that had a test on it on measuring and I hadn't even read a tape measure since high school shop class and im 28 so I thank you for this vid and keep posting your doing good.....
wow you've done a great job on this video explaining how to read a tape Measure... I wish the teachers in school would of been this good I now feel i can go out and measure anything thank you great job :)
