Don't get me started on the indaequacies (as I see them) if the Brit and US 'imperial' systems of measure. Suffice to say that the phrase 'pathetically retrogressive' springs to mind. cheer the sunshine "make mine SI" warrior Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Hammering transpondently #129611 06/25/04 02:16 PM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 But you can't deny that a pint is just the right size.

I find it is much more precise than with the router since I don't have a router table so am highly reliant on clamped guides. It's funny to hear you use the metric sytem to measure (in Imperial U.S.)...I prefer using Imperial measures (in metric Canada). The world turned around. Shanks, what term do you hear for Carpenter? You didn't say. I hear the names Carpenter and Woodworker used interchangeably.

'Carpenter' is most often used (here) as a term for a multi-faceted builder (wood, dry wall(gypsum), tile and paint), wheras 'woodworker' is usually an equivalent to 'cabinet maker'.

The cabinet maker is a joiner who makes fine pieces of woodwork - possibly so well made and fitted that they need neither screws, nor glue for then to hold together Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
