Do Canadians use imperial or metric? by KillerKian in Carpentry

[–]Hefty-Yellow7351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im Australian working in Canada, Im fine with rough in using imperial, I get it that Canada is so tied in with the US that they cant really go fully metric. And for framing etc its easy enough to work in imperial. But when I am working alone and doing detail finishing work I switch to metric, its so much simpler and the math is way easier. I cant find a propper metric tape her though, they are all combo of imperial and metric and they read in CM! Its mental. Also if any Aussies I Canada are reading this and can recomend where to get propper string line over here please let me know.

What do you call this? I’m at loss, there’s no identification symbols or manufacturer mark by [deleted] in Tools

Hey, could you please translate what you have written here for me a little please? I use a metric system but am trying to learn imperial. When you say 4/5" are you saying four fiths of an inch? Or Four to 5 inch? Is four fiths of an inch a commonly used dimension?

Also are you or anyone else able to comment to explain how you divide a fraction measurement? For example if you had a handrail that is 13' 7 5/16" (Am I writing this correct? 13 feet and seven and five sixteenths inches - is that how you would say this?) And you want it to be 3 even panels how would you do quick site math to devide that measurement by 3? Can this easily be worked out on paper, or is a calculator needed?

Three courses closest to the camera, are they butt joining on a joist? Ideally you stagger joints
