A quick way of converting imperial fractions to metric is....
1/2" = 16/32" (Change to 32nds if possible)
Multiply 16 by 8 ( 16 * 8 = 128)
Put in a decimal at one decimal place
so 128 = 12.8mm
It.s an approximation but a pretty close one.
Boring message over

Sweet model Jeff!
How did you make the bowl shape(the negative space)? ...is it mathematically generated?

12 inch ?
in 2011 there are always these sortes of measures?
That is completely incongruous!
Decimal system don't penetrate in the new world?
i admit, metric makes way more sense.. i guess we're (americans) just stubborn? or too lazy to switch?

:roll:
1/2" is 'half' an inch ~12.7mm
So 12mm ply in EU/Rest_of_the_World == 1/2" ply in USA...our 1/2" is actually 15/32" which is really close to 12mm (11.9mm)..
just easier for us to call it half.23/32 = 3/4" ply
19/32 - 5/8" ply
etc.a big box store here in the u.s.:

What !!!
The USA has [slightly] thinner plywood than the rest of the world ??
Let's all agree to call it '12mm'
Did you make the model out of Slicer cuts or ModelSlicer ?
I have a project on the backburner to make a Slicer+Slotter using components in the assembled set and flattened...

Plywood is almost always thinner than the dimension it is called but then so is all other wood. A 1x6 will be 3/4 in. thick by 5-1/2" wide. If you want one inch thick lumber you have to buy 6/4 and surface it.

i guess you could say that

there is 0.3 mm on the fly !
The sawdust?@unknownuser said:
each one of those squares = 12"
So the square of Jeff 12" must be 30.5 cm or 30.48 cm ?

any way we call it, that's still an awful lot of cardboard!

Ha...Nice, that makes sense because its so hard to reliably make something like that in SU that corresponds to real-world requirements

I have a project on the backburner to make a Slicer+Slotter using components in the assembled set and flattened...can't wait for that

As I said it's on the "backburner" - it's item #9 today - but it was #8 last week !

I'm still excited. I can wait u out.

for skateboarding ... of course!... why waste it by putting water in there?
I don't think you have a choice, Jeff. Doesn't it ever rain in NYC...?
Beaut model though!!

I rarely work in the city.. I just live here then fly out to build.
regardless, I generally build inside..If outside, I use other surface materials & p.t. framing but nothing beats using the european plywood for the final layer. great material to work with (very strong/durable yet still pliable/workable) and the surface is super good for riding on. (fast/smooth with just the right amount of tack)

Seems for you at little scale
