As the UK was fully metricated when I started school and I’m a working engineer, I mostly work in metric. I particularly struggle with all the fractions with imperial, purely because I’m used to working with decimals.
That said, if I’m judging a measurement by eye I’m just as likely to use inches.
I think its all down to what you’re comfortable with, and sticking to my Dad’s favourite… Measure twice cut once!

I actually have most of the tools from the buying good tools cheap blog series, so I’m now topping up the collection.
A workbench is definitely on my “to do list” though because my Dad’s old workmate is an absolute nightmare!

Ken, you’ve swung me to the 62. I can always get a second hand 5 from eBay later if I need it.
