Ah the Ubiquitous Tape Measure

[Frank Townend]

Interesting, almost Spider Man like use of the lowly tape measure:

Also noticed a couple of fun time-wasting games here.

Well done. I am so glad I am going to live to 2,583,945,846,874 years old so I have the time for all these time wasting activities!

Found this one after watching your link. Amazing.

Reminds me of the good ole' days having a framing crew.

The tape measure tricks I can believe. Though it would take less time to edit a video than the multiple tries to get it right.

The second video is just stupid. Their reactions are totally fake and I got a kick out of the added saw cutting sound effect. Here's a penetrating glimpse into the obvious: Throwing a saw blade through a 2x4 - not possible. We used to have games getting them to stick into the studs though.

I'm sure that I've seen some houses built by those fellows in the blade throwing video....

I was fortunate - I was able to reel myself back in to SMC after only 2 min on the rogue - but very cool - sites.
