General Discussion>A Game To Check Your "Eye For Things".
shilala 10:23 AM 01-08-2014
This game is at Rockler.

It's just a little sumthin sumthin to check and see if you've got an eye.
Lots of woodworkers can get a fit down to where you can throw a cat through it. That sucks, unless you're building doghouses and handicap ramps.
The goal is to make a fit transparent. That is very difficult. Well, not really. It takes time, patience, good tools and "an eye".

I've got the eye of a hog, and I get blinder daily, which compounds the problem. I'm going to get some more glasses in a few days, not that it'll help much.

I think a person can improve their eye over time, then when their eyesight goes, they can rely on skill and their tools. But in the beginning, I think you either have it or you don't.

That's where this game comes in. Try it out and post your results.
I got a 10.6 in 124 seconds. That's bad and fast.

Let's make this a challenge.
Whoever beats me the worst, there's a fiver in it for you.
Play as many times as you like, post all your results, and I'll end the challenge when I bore with it. :-)

4.65, 152.3.
Ben made me think. A good woodworker takes his time.
The Overall score is what we'll go by for the winnar.

I also noticed that guys are getting awesomely low scores but it takes them 800 to 1000 seconds. Clearly using protractors and stuff. It's all about the eye here. :-)

Weeze got 4.84 in 107.53.
I knew she'd do good. She's got a hell of an eye, which should be obvious by looking at the super sexy that is me. :-)

Come on Scott, it's lunchtime. And it's not like I'm gonna come close to Bens score anyways. :-) :-)

Awww, you can play all you want, brother. Ben is a monster. I don't think he's beatable, but he still has to beat me. And Weeze. :-)

First try, not toooo bad since I'm actually on a conference call and presenting a design, you can tell where I was answering questions on the call and where I was not engaged. :-) :-) :-)

Hey some things are just important!
