No lie, the best explanation I’ve heard for reading a tape measure! I’ll never forget or misjudge a /16” measure again!!! Thank you so much, can you explain angles and how to make them?!

[@lorrainepinto690]

I am starting my passion for diy furniture at 42 thank you for helping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@blackceazar1]

Wow ! you're the first to break it down like that, in which definitely simplified measurements to me. Thanks a million! !

[@DIYCreators]

+Edison Norman Thanks man

[@MrKfq269]

Thanks dude. Im 52 and struggled with this my whole life. I knew 1/8, 1/4,1/2,3/4 and 1. Only now is it much more clear. Thanks again.

[@daneberhardt8658]

Same here!

[@MilesCastillo23]

Clear, simple, and easy to pick up. Finally a video that wrapped my head around the measuring tape. Thank you glen!

[@daneberhardt8658]

Bro . . . _legit_ 💯 THE BEST explanation I've ever heard ! Awesome job! 👏🏻I'm 48 and knew the basics but the way you broke down the 16ths was 🔥! Thx!

[@80sgemini30]

Start a new job tomorrow at hortons emergency ambulance , I've always been able to read a tape just not as quick . A piece of paper, pencil and repeating how you said it in your video continuous times HELPS A TON !!! 5 minutes is all it took! Thanks bro knowledge is power and knowing is half the battle!!

[@DavidBishopinc]

All kids these days should see this.

[@DIYCreators]

[@waynesteadman5731]

Glenn! Thank you so much. you've broken this down to it simplest form. It is the best video I've seen on how to read a ruler. I teach stagecraft middle school students. Your explanation demonstrates a visual and practical application with what they are being taught in their math classes. Thank you very much.

[@zachthompson7849]

Very well done and you made it very easy to understand. Hats off to you sir

Love your channel. I have spent 50+ years trying to teach coworkers how to read a tape. This is exactly how I TRY to teach them. Some will never learn, and some don't want to. Anyway, glad I found your channel. Interesting hacks and tips.

As a German who uses the metric system, I have finally understood what your Americans always use for strange subdivisions.
For those who still haven't understood, use the metric system!

This makes sense. best video I found .Thanks alot .Prefer metric system over standard anyday. Only in America Rest of the world uses metric. Even Canada switched to metrics .

[@DIYCreators]

Thanks, I keep hearing that, I'll give it a shot. If it's easier sign me up.

[@Lukasmaldo]

men is very easy, 1km is 1000 meters and 1 meter =10 decimeters =100 centimeters = 1000 milimeters....
1 inch is 2.54 centimeters
1foot is 30.48 centimeters
1 yard is 94.44 centimeters
1 miles is 1609.34 meters or 1.6 km

[@AllesohneKabel]

very well explained!

[@DIYCreators]

+AllesohneKabel Thanks

New subscriber can't really read it so good

[@absebastian1]

ok so...... I really don't like to comment on a lot of things on youtube because...... well let's just leave it there but, watching this video reminded me how i was taught to read a tape measurer years ago but forgot. But it all came back to me after i watched this. Glenn, I watch all of your vids for this reason YOU ALWAYS DO THINGS THE SIMPLEST WAY TO YOU!! phew i guess you can tell how much that means to me although a lot of the ways aren't always as simple to me just because my skill level is no way near where your's is but i love the fact that you do things YOUR WAY (and that way is phenomenal). Don't want to rant, I just appreciate you dude. I have to get some of your plans once i go back to work this corona is real lol. I'm done.
Sebastian

Why? Can't read fractions?

[@robinstewart6510]

The metric system sucks. It's not intuitive and the numbers get huge quick.

[@Oneinchpunchmaster]

[@irreduciblerascal]

Excellent explanation, thank you. Give me a metric any day of the week...
