@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @autolycos@beige.party @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @iris@neuromatch.social @douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org Traditional wood instrument making involves a lot of shape-to-fit though, so even though you may only measure to the 64th your final fit could be down to thousandths or less.
I remember learning that in boatbuilding, nothing is ever measured past 1/8", but again, *final* fit is often spectacularly close.
I made several sets of bagpipes and a clarinet without anything fancier than a pair of calipers and a ruler.
