I have no idea how i’ve lived so long without this information

Good trick. I’m terrible with measurements and used to say things like “3 and 3/4 inches with 2 ticks” 🤣

Tips like this make me feel retarded.

WHAT??????????????????????? I'd be standing there with a piece of wood trying to do the math!!!! 61 and you turned on a lightbulb I never thought would come on!

The more of these videos I watch, I’m starting to doubt if I even breathe correctly.

Dude... I have build houses, apartment buildings, an armory in Japan... how TF did nobody teach me this?!

This is where a metric comes in handier than imperial measurements

Wtf 😳…. Bro! 🤯 Thank you!!!!

Good tip brother 🫡 ... even master carpenters can still learn a thing or two 🫶🤝

I feel like an idiot 😠

Or you can use metric cm/mm to easily find the center. Imperial measurements are so lame. 5/16 + 3/32 or 2mm + 5mm. Which one would you rather calculate?

I'm gonna show this to my wife next time I do a project and pretend I knew this all along

mother of God.

Are you saying my 2x4 are no longer 2 by 4?!?

Are you f'n kidding me?

I hate to admit that I’m terrible at measurements. I dont know why. So this is very helpful for me

Why not just half 3 & 7/8" and measure out 1 & 15/16"

Cool! Now imagine there is a theorem about it from some time ago…

Common sense genius - keep spreading these tidbits that make life improvement simple and efficient. Thank you.

Don't know if I will ever need this... But I will never forget it... In case I do. Thanks.

There’s no way this should work…. But it does

You can also mark out your boards out to 3rds and 4ths etc. Common in woodworking.

All the time I wasted. Probably could have saved me a year of my life, not counting all the pain that went with it. I'd almost rather have not known this. Crap!

Dude... thank you

Before I would measure 2" from the left and mark a point, then 2" from the right and mark a point and center is in the middle of those 2 marks. I'll have to try this new method

@grok, work out a proof for this theorem

Game changer.

Not gonna lie, this is good shit to know.

Try to get someone with a gender studies degree to explain that to you.

Gold!
