Measuring diameters can be difficult. Sure, it works OK to just measure the end, but if you need a higher accuracy, here's another method:

 Take apart one of your combination squares and slide the head to another square so that the straight edges are 
 facing each other. 
 Set one of the square heads at an even measurement and then slide the other head until both are touching the 
 part you're measuring. 
 Read the measurement right off the ruler!

• Events for 2021
• The next Space Improvement Day is Sunday, May 30th from 1 to 4 PM. No making from noon to 5.
  • Alden is working on getting a food truck for the meal. Pls reach out to Faith F on the member message board so we can get a good member count for food.

• Jeff M signed up the MMS to participate in the Bay View Gallery night on June 25th. Need members to help with set up, tear down and to give tours to visitors. Also a great spot to sell your projects.
