    When I find a wood working video on YouTube from the states it blows my mind how anyone can not just adopt metric “This is 5” 4/57 and we need to cut it to 5” 5/45 and a half” bzzzzzzz.

      I may be biased, but I think it kinda makes sense. All the fractions are really just powers of two:
      One half
      One quarter
      One eighth
      One sixteenth
      One thirtysecond
      etc.
