Plumb I’ve taught at least 15 guys how to read a tape measure. One had been working with his dad, a great framer for 5 years and until I explained and showed him. He really had no idea how to measure other than 1/4, 1/2, 3/4. Someone’s got to teach it. Few shop classes now a days.
Very true. I agree J. Teachers don’t teach much any more and that’s sad. They’re all just there for a paycheck and waiting for a retirement. Good teachers went out the window when the kids were given the control.
