Do you have any calibrated body parts? Sounds weird but I know my pointer fingernail is 1/2 inch, first pointer finger joint is 1 inch, 2nd joint is 2 inch, finger tip to knuckle is 4 inch, extended thumb tip to pointer finger tip is 7 inches and spread thumb tip to pinky tip is 9 inches. With a combination of these between two hands I can get pretty accurate measurements pretty quickly.

Yes I do, give me a couple of days for the video!
Thank you very much for the question. It was fun! Cheers!
I have mechanical engineering background but just a general tinkerer and fixer. I've won a few bets by "guessing" dimensions that I measured with my hand. I can pretty confidently get within a 1/4 to 1/2 inch accuracy. It reminds me of Adam Savage's(myth buster guy) has a tattoo of measurements on his arm. Thanks for the video.
I thought you had some sort of history behind that! Especially using the word calibrated. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I will be hopefully shooting your next video tomorrow. Cheers!
