I've been slowly working on a woodworking project and since they guy who originally posted the design is in Canada, he used the metric system so I thought I would follow along and give it a try.
Wow, I don't understand why more people don't use it. It is SO much more simple than the imperial system, and its not like the imperial system is all that confusing to begin with.
It really shines when converting between units...how many inches is 23'-4 1/4" again?
I think if people just tried it for a week, the old system would be gone quickly.
