Limey Carpenter, or anybody who knows: How do I call out metric sizes of wood trim materials, lumber/timber, and plywood thicknesses. Every site I go to gives a different answer about nominal versus acrual sizes, hard conversion vs soft conversion, and cm vs mm. WTF?
In NOMINAL Imperial sizes I need to call out the metric equivalents of:
1x2
2x2
2x4
1/2" plywood
3/4" plywood
I'm also looking at an architect's plan completely dimensioned in cm, to wit, an overall dimension of this little bungalow is called out "770". Back when I learned metric, this would have been written "7 700". Has that changed?
