Oops.... my mistake.... it's a workbench

While the cats away and it's 37 Degrees C in the shed, no I made the bracket in the shed but took the pics inside. I do a lot of work inside when its too hot outside which will hopefully be over in about 2 months! I've made more parts for the glareshield today and will update my gallery album again soon. I can't put my new toys down, too scared to plug it all in!!!

Hey Gwyn,

It is -40C Today.... A little chilly. I have a friend that lives in Louisianna and he is sure that is why American's never took over canada. (who would ever want to live in a cold desolate wasteland)

For those of you in the USA -40C is where the Fahrenheit and Celcius thermometers meet. -40C = -40F

I would kill to have +32C right now..

[Matt Olieman]

Gwyn, Trevor it's going to be about +25C here today... welcome to bring it here.... Got a spare bedroom

[Michael Carter]

...And about 13C here. Spring is a-coming.

I will never get used to the metric system...my simple mind just can't grasp the concept of 37 degrees being hot

[Trevor Hale]

37C = 98.6 Fahrenheit

LOL. Funny if my us Friends tell me that it is 100 out, I just know that is hot.

Thats the best part about my post -40C = -40 Fahrenheit Easy for americans and Canadians.

For the record.. When I build things, I still work in feet and Inches. I do not understand Gwyn when he tells me his MIP is cut with 145mm squares

[Michael Carter]

I can work in either system. I've gotten quite used to the metric system and I find that I like it better than imperial measurements.

It's much easier adding and subtracting in my head than inches and feet.

I will work in the metric system as long as what I'm working on is dimensioned in metric.

Maybe one day the U.S. will catch up with the rest of the world, lol!

19&11/16" + 23&5/8" = _________ or 500mm + 600mm = __________

These sums are the same, which is easier??? My 9 yo boy can do the metric one in his head. Aussies converted to metric 40 years ago when George W Bush was just 1138mm tall. I have to admit that I still use an imperial lathe with it's increments in thousands of an inch, I had to learn both during my apprenticeship but the imperial system has way too many mysteries to fit into my calculator!
