- In this comprehensive series, Patrick Holcombe discusses the step-by-step design of his coping sled, the reasons for the nuances within it, and why using T-Track components enabled its functionality...
Make a few and sell them people who can't afford them will buy .Your work is second to none simply great may God continue to bless you and your family well done young man
This series of how-to videos is fantastic. He breaks down the steps into easy chunks. Can't convert from metric? Cheat, you fools! Ask Google.
Hi Laura! Thanks for your kind comment. Very much appreciated. And hey! Why convert from metric? We suggest just using metric in the first place. Its all 10's and hundreds. Much easier! :-)
Was looking at your videos on the coping sled. Just curious as to what type of router table and lift you have that is shown in the video.
Cool!
You guys complaining about his metric sizes don't even realize that he keeps saying mils and showing millimeters, that's not even the same unit of measure.
Down in Australia it is! "Mils" is just a typically short Australianism for millimetres.
I'm in uk, speak English, I'm 46 and have used metric all my life. The Americans are still on imperial, not sure why such an advanced country hasn't adapted?
We don't understand it either PG! Its a much simpler and sensible method of measurement.
Really??? Is it that hard to figure out???? Why does someone from France speak French???? Can you figure that out? Maybe... Just maybe..... it is what they learned from a child and it is all they know. Yes, they can learn another language, but French is their native language.
In the US, we do use both imperial and metric, however, imperial is what is mostly used, so, just like French people speak French, we mostly use imperial, as that is what we have used most of our lives. Our speed limits are in MILES per HOUR. Our road signs... display.... can you guess.... Miles. NOT Kilometers. Therefore Imperial is like a native language. Why change? I have an engineering degree, so please don't attempt to explain it to me and I probably know it better than you, but, even for me, metric is like a second language and imperial is like a first language.
My dad taught me to use Imperial measurements when I was a kid, learning to do some wood working, and to this day (I'm 45) I still use it exclusively (I'm Canadian). I even go out of my way to buy measuring tapes that do not have metric on one side and imperial on the other. I want my measuring tapes to display Imperial only. Sure, measuring (and adding or substracting) in increments of 1 and 10 is a lot simpler than in quarters, eights and sixteenths, but I don't know, I just can't shake it. We truly are creatures of habit.
Because imperial is so much better.
No, wait, because I'm a bit lazy... Yeah, that's it.
Actually, after 35+ years of woodworking, and using imperial measurement that I was taught 50+ years ago, I started gravitating to using metric for woodworking-- primarily millimeters. Given that 100mm is almost 4 inches, it makes it pretty easy to get a conceptual conversion going in my head. Now, as long as I am starting with my own plans I made in Sketchup, or working with someones else's that they have done in metric, I use metric fairly exclusively.
There are obvious advantages to metric, assuming you are comfortable with it and have measuring implements that are metric.
@@chainsaw5524 People in the US don't speak true English, they speak American.
why you talk in English and give metric mesure
Bonjour, crazyfrenchfrog007! Here in Australia that's what we do! We speak English and are smart enough to have converted to the metric system - 50 years ago! :-)
and we umm inherited it from the French :-)
Only about 3 % of the world's population use the imperial system.
Only 3 countries total, use the Imperial system. Liberia, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) and the United States of America.
