Then remeasure. You will find that:
- your block is 152mm long.

- you want a 6mm border at each end.

No he doesn't, he wants 1/4" and 6mm doesn't equal that. Close but
no cigar, so much for metric unless you can measure 6.35mm on that
tape


Do you *really* think that 0.35 millimeters (less than 14 thousandths
of an inch) is going to be noticeable? Or are you just trying to be
argumentative?

Had enough of that from SWMBO this past week, don't need it from you
too.


Just pointing out that metric isn't the be-all and end-all

No, but it sure makes the calculations a LOT easier. Reduces the risk of
error, too, because you're always adding either integers or decimals -- not
mixed fractions.
