I just finished a design for a wall chart.
Standard dimensions to Woodworkers dimensions.
Units:
Ticks...add a few ticks = 1/16th of an inch?
Tads...take off a tad
Smidgens...a smidgen too large
C-hairs...move it JUST a C-hair
Hairs..it is a hair too big
Bits...move it over a bit
Whispers... I think I'll plane off a whisper
Littles.... put on a little glue.
Mites
Trifles
Chunks
There are some disagreements as to how many whispers there are in a hair.
I DO know that there are 14 tads to a smidgen.
Units of volume:
How many ****loads in a bucket full?
There may be some regional units of measurements as well.
I could use some unput.....Please?
Rob.
The smallest measurement I've used is a "Fairy Fart"
A "Prayer" is also pretty small.
Aussie conversion "C-Hair" = "Mickey Whisker"
My Dad always said" A problems halved when you realise that it's only
short on one end"
