Eyballing

[bodgermatic]

The final arbiter of true, square and flat are the measuring tools we use - but I'm willing to bet there are a fair few people on here who can look at a piece of wood an tell you whether it's square or not. So how good are you at eyeballing measurements and angles? Have a go:

Do 3 rounds of 7 tests, and you get an average score, mine was 3.54

First go 2.97, and that's with the mouse throwing a wobbly a couple of times and giving me way out results...

Got me on the leader board. Couple of bad scores I got were down to the mouse moving a bit when clicking. Clamped it down tighter and did better afterwards.

I'm not in the Game mood right now, but there was a time, sadly a goodly while ago, when I could look at a board and tell you how thick is was. To within 0.5mm. I jest not. Ok the range was narrow, but I could tell you if it was 19.5 or 22mm. 21 or 18.5. I couldn't do it at 30mm. I simply leaned to see what it was like. I couldn't do it now. I may never do it again, but it's astonishing how you can get those sorts of skills just by practice.
