Default Re: Question for Mike Shipley

Pardon me for butting in. but refering to the 1.414 this is a basic geometry measurement for the diagonal of a square. It greatly simplifies the math when carving on the corner of a block. As a journeyman patternmaker, this measurement has come in to play more times than I care to remember over the last 20 years.
