In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Yost's plans measurments (GREYSON)

: I'm a newbie, thinking of making a SOF from Yost's website (thanks tom, great
: site), but am finding the measuments counterintuitive. Any suggestions for
: conversion to standard imperial (fractions)? Or should i just go with
: cm's?

Greyson,

My CAD cranks out the numbers in feet / decimal. I work in metric ( offsets)
as it's far superior to Imperial in my opinion. Just multiply the feet X 12 X
2.54 and you're on your way. I decided long ago that if I had to convert
them, so could everyone else. :) Though, in some cases, I do post offsets in
metric as I now use an Excel spreadsheet for the newer conversions.

Example - Nikumi 19

Have fun building and email me anytime you have a question. I usually respond within 24 hrs.

Regards,

Tom
