Make a double border, and swap the picture ...

Below please find a video that might be helpful when making and adjusting your borders/mats.

The object was to show how to quickly make a double mat, and after printing, change the images and not have to remake the mats.

Have fun.

How can that be, Terry?
That would be like you and I driving to Yorkshire, to buy a terrier, and some pudding, but because you drive on the wrong  side of the road, you will arrive sooner?

The real killer for Imperial units is in the last link:

Perhaps one of the most iconic science fiction shows to have ever broadcast, Star Trek, uses metric units!

Hello Both

In my sailing days change over to metric had it's disadvantages.

Anchor chain 30 fath long marked at 10 and 20 fath  metric had to assume 2m = 1 fath and to hell with the error.

A great thing about the Nautical mile was one deg course error = 1 nautical mile in 60 so it was possible to work our courses to steer in your head.  This was in the days of sailing by your nautical pants, GPS what is that?

Really,
Jeff, I cannot fathom the course you have taken this debate.
I guess I am out of my depth, and am having trouble keeping an even keel.
As I age, I find that I spend more time on the poop deck, and my jib is dangling.
Suffering from JD, (Jib Dysfunction) people have offered remedial advice.
The best of which is that new pill Jib-agra. When in port, and doing maintenance on your sails, add one Jibagra tablet to the sail wash water.
The next day, your Jib will be out in front of the boat, proudly cutting the wind.

Industry-specific product sizing

Metric opposed artisans and practitioners may be concerned by certain dimensions being less memorable with metric units. As the table below shows, industries have adapted to such concern by rounding dimensions in metric units:
Industry    Common reference    Metric reference
Carpentry    4 ft × 8 ft plywood                    1219 mm × 2438 mm (exact)      1200 mm × 2400 mm (new Europe)
"2 by 4"                              50.8 mm × 101.6 mm (exact)               50 mm × 100 mm (Europe)
(but planing makes all beams 3~8 mm narrower)

I buy metric sized wood here and it really is metric.
The engineering company I worked for went metric in 1970, logical for electrical machines sold to a world market and designed using metric units. That article really is "old hat".  Roll Eyes  Grin

Recently our photo club went metric.  Mounts 50 x 40.  Trouble is all frames appear to be imported from ?far east at 16 x 20 imperial. so pics do not fit frames.
