“I think…” yeah right

Or turn the tape over

Why not measure from the bottom?

BTW, congrats on the 0.5K subs. Onwards to 0.5M subs 😂😂

Woop woop! I like a challange!

Buy a Hultafors tape measure and you will never go back!

Top tip, earth bond wire as a belt with foil tape adorned, pull foil tape and peel backing tape at same time, tear the foil as required but not the backing tape, no need to fiddle finding the end of the foil as the backing tape will be longer or having a third arm trying to reach the roll that's on the floor or taking the skin of the lips

Another method. Tape end at bottom measure to the top of half way board. Tape end at top measure to top of halfway board. Add the two measurements together

Thank you. I been asking the same thing every day at work 🤣

That was not a quick question, that was painfully slow

Or do what the useless yanks do and measure in inches so its 36 and 11/35 inches long 😂

What happened to feet and inches, the metric system is crap

Or use an elastic band and really mess it up 😮

The rape measure body is a known thickneas

What a load of rubbish

Use a laser measure… Job done.

Answer. Dont bend it

The body of the tape measure has it's width on it just add that to the amount of tape that comes out 👍 my tapes body it 57mm for instance

The tape have a case which is a size on it, very simple, why complicates life.

I don’t mess about with millimetres

You measured from 200 mate not 100 😂

that turned out to be helpful. Thank you

That scribing..... just perfect. Loving the series more and more with each new episode. Subs steadily climbing as well. Happy to see that. Soon up to 47K 👍👍

Not if you hold the tape measure at a fucking angle like that!

Have you got the groundforce team coming as well, least you can get rid of that crushed box of screws

😂 can’t wait

Or just use the width of the tape measure which is written on the back then add that to your measurement lol

Have you got any suggestions for which products to use and best way to apply please?

Yeah

Adding introduces error and complication. Just use the curve.

Straight and vertical would help

Good tip!! Two pieces of timber marked at the lap is the my most accurate way. Especially as it avoids any need for calculations, its visual and avoids human error. All this said, accuracy is not determined by the smallest measurement to the tightest size, rather it is accurate when the tolerance required following a measurement has been accounted for.

And make sure the tape is vertical or you’ll be adding millimetres to the measurement.

Brillliant very basic, so easy to follow

Wow! The level of care you demonstrate in every step is just colossal. You put that vertical timber on the off side in and out some 8 times just to make sure it was correct. Excellent show of experience as well when you mention that the distance between the end of the bed and the front of the van is 8 ft, thus a length of a plywood sheet. I'm not surprised people keep coming back to your videos to check how to do the job properly. Thanks again for an excellent tutorial. I'm everyday more and more convinced I should NOT start my project someday soon but leave it to the professionals 😇😇😇😇

TOP TIP on how to scribe very accurate lines you want to cut, in this example, a new panel to fit inside a van being converted. This is part of the long form video featured th-cam.com/video/KDduzDfw14Y/w-d-xo.html

great info 👍👍👍👍

You (or possibly it was me?) missed the bit where you discussed the rationale behind which van to choose, and why you chose a Movano / Master - Did you cover this somewhere?

Measure up, 😂😂😂

Or use the body.. or measure to the most round part of the bend😊

Better still put it at the bottom and roll it out to the top at the back of the opening

How about turning the tape upside-down ...that would be too easy

TURN THE TAPE THE OTHER BLODDY WAY!

The tape still looked bent

Another method: many tape measures body’s have the width of the body printed on them. Instead of bending the tape, keep it straight, place the body against the surface. Note the measurement, add the tape body width.

Why not measure from the bottom to the top..

Mission impossible, this message will self destruct 😂😂

I appreciate how you explain things! I’m just about to invest in a crafter so these videos are very useful, thanks
