    Finding woodworking plans have never been a problem.

    Finding metric woodworking plans for the 94% of us who aren’t Americans, that has been my problem. Everything out there seems to be in imperial, which makes things 100× harder than it has any need to be.

        Step 1: multiply all inches by 2.54 on the plans and not mess up or miss any of them
        Step 2: have fun cutting on fun cm decimals like 6 inches = 15.24 cm

            It’s easy only if you have the tools with markers in those units. Don’t be so flippant, obviously not everyone’s tools are imperial. Llikewise I don’t think you will enjoy measuring centimeters with only inches available
