    Ayuh ! Heeyah on the island we measure by the fish box. They're plastic totes that are used for transporting lobstah, whorse eggs, and fish to market. Fill one of those with scrap brass and you've got something cappy.

    On the small scale that carpenduhs and machinists use it's measured in Sea H's

    1 black Sea H = .0625" on the caliper -or- 1/16" on the tape.
    1 red Sea H = 1/16 " shy -or- 1/32" strong depending on how you want to call it.
    1 blond Sea H = .0313" on the caliper -or- 1/32" on the tape. ( If you can even see that little mark. )

    Lol .... and you thought the metric system was messed up ?
