Hello all.
Way back when I was young , my father helped me build a HO scale train table which had a scale version of the neighborhood I grew up in. He gave me a HO scale ruler which he made where each line was equal to a foot. I went through the whole neighborhood with a tape measure in hand and got dimensions from every house.......... That scale ruler was so cool! Where do I go to find a way to make myself a 1/14th scale ruler???? Thanks, Mario |

To get the appropriate scale that I want I measure the 1:1 unit and then divide that number by 12 getting the measurement in inches. I then divide this measurement by 14. I then match my answer against the following chart, keeping the whole number and adding the following as appropriate, by rounding to the nearest number:
Inch: Fraction, Decimal Equivalent Chart 1/32 0.03125 2/32 : 1/16 0.0625 3/32 0.09375 4/32 : 1/8 0.125 5/32 0.15625 6/32 : 3/16 0.1875 7/32 0.21875 8/32 : ¼ 0.25 9/32 0.28125 10/32 : 5/16 0.3125 11/32 0.34375 12/32 : 3/8 0.375 13/32 0.40625 14/32 : 7/16 0.4375 15/32 0.46875 16/32 : ½ 0.5 17/32 0.53125 18/32 : 9/16 0.5625 19/32 0.59375 20/32 : 5/8 0.625 21/32 0.65625 22/32 : 11/16 0.6875 23/32 0.71875 24/32 : ¾ 0.75 25/32 0.78125 26/32 : 13/16 0.8125 27/32 0.84375 28/32 : 7/8 0.875 29/32 0.90625 30/32 : 15/16 0.9375 31/32 0.96875 32/32 : 1 1.0 I hope this helps you. ![]() ![]() - RCT
