If you cannot find them locally at home depot, Lowes or and Ace hardware.
I've picked up a folding wooden metric ruler from
http://www.metricspecialties.com even though it is not in their catalog,
they hunted one down and were nice to deal with.
An all metric tape is easier to use than one that has both cm and inches.
Good luck,

Hi all,

I am planning to build a small Dudly Dix design, a sailing dinghy called
an Argie 10, for my 12 year old daughter. This was a "carrot" in an
effort to get her more interested in studying. She achieved the
benchmarks, and now I have to produce

The plans are all in metric dimensions. While all dimensions are also
listed in inches, I have a feeling laying out a curve based on 473,441
and 392 centimeters is going to be easier than translating 18.62",
17.36" and 15.63" to fractions and then plotting that.

So, my question is, where to I find a tape measure that is marked in
metric units?

Also, if anyone has built one of these and has any pointers, I would
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Menard's and Home Depot both have tape measures in both metric and
english graduations.

Usually the cheaper ones have both
