How to Read a Tape Measure Made REALLY Easy

I cover how to read the fractions on the tape measure. I start with a stick with some lines on it a work up to the lines on a tape measure. I give a practical explanation of how to look at the lines and their relationships to one another. I hope this little video helps.

For those of you who are wondering. I cut this part from the "Tape Pro Tips" video because only about 1/3 of the viewers were getting to this part of the video. I think it has some value to those who are looking only for the "how to read fractions on a tape" part. They may be a different audience. I figured if it can help more people, then I might as well give it a shot. Thanks for watching and reading! Original full tape measure video here.    • 15 Tape Measure Pro Tips
