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.

  • nICE job..

  • Thanks a lot sir. It's super easy the way you explained it. Keep the videos coming!

  • 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.

  • Thank you.You did a very good job,the leson was simple to folow

  • 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!

  • Great  video.... best on the web :)

  • 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.
