I've messed up so many times, simply trying to divide by 2 to get the middle of a measurement. My deepest Canadian gratitude.

Many years ago I had a calculator that spoke fractions but although it accepted any denominator it was a pain to use. Having 16ths as individual "keys" is way more functional. Thanks for making and sharing!

Very elegant. I grew up in the UK when it was still dithering whether to go metric or not, so text books were in Imperial and metric. As a consequence I intermix types when I'm making things, and thinking about shapes of things, and fine work in metal or wood still always seems easier in tiny fractions of inches.
