That's loose-lay fiberglass stabilized vinyl flooring........comfort baby!

It's cleaner because it's had a 170 lb. cotton covered mop polishing it for 4+ days!

..........and you could have bought a Cup Car ya know. :action-smiley-027:

:sieg: :sieg: :sieg: :sieg:
I learn best by my mistakes. Out of who knows how many measurements.......I actually took 4 or 5 that made me excited.

Fractions are just plain S T U P I D!!!

M&M's are only good out of a bag, plain or peanut. Freakin communist.

The guy that was helping me is a machinist, he thinks in thousands of inches...

You should have seen him shaking his head at me trying to subtract 5/32nds from 17/32nds... lol... :D

I know the feeling.. You ever work on a dirt race car with an areospace engineer :badidea: :lostmarbles:

I know why UroSieg uses mm...He's used to all his bikes

Exactly!

1/10ths, 1/100ths, 1/1000ths.........what's that remind you of? :sieg:

I wish my dumb ole trade would switch to cm/mm. I have employee's who still have to count the digits LOL....

"As society regress's forward...."

In my flooring business I was glad to have inches, feet, and yards because once the carpet industry wised up to the fact that hardwood and ceramic tile competitors were killing them with price perception and switched to selling carpet by the square foot vs square yard the playing field was leveled........but it took a while for the good old industry boys to accept the paradigm shift. The consumer perceived hardwood at $6 sq. ft. as a much better 'value' than carpet at $24 sq. yd when it was actually $54 sq. yd. Accountants, teachers, university professors, bankers amazingly all fell into that trap.

In the metric system they are somewhat forced to sell by square meter as square centimeters is their next option.

Jer Dawg was right about the bikes as my first bike in '72 was metric as were the other 20+ that followed........

Took a break from chassis/suspension grind yesterday afternoon to remind myself how lucky I was not to have been a framer my entire life.........

My plan for turn plates is to use flexible cutting boards like these http://www.amazon.com/Clear-Flexible...ds+for+kitchen and lubricate them with Crisco for dishwasher cleanup.

Nicely done! I used a nail gun and 2.5" nails to put mine together, went much quicker than with screws.

You'll love those... I use mine all of the time.
