    Reddit Woodworking is having a 2x4 contest for Christmas

    Top prize Incra 1000 miter gauge,

    basically 1.8m x 50mmx100mm must be the basis of the project.
    I think that if you use a 6 foot 2x4 that is very close to the amount of wood that can be used,

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

    Sure is small for my way of thinking but I would love to see the results.

      the wood dimensions are metric as used in most metric countries for their dimensional lumber
      1.8m = 5.9 feet = 70.8 inches
      50mm = 1.96 inches
      100mm = 3.94 inches
      the rules gives the board feet limit.
      A US 2x4 dimensional lumber is usually 1.5" x 3.5" finished size and comes 8 feet or 96 inches long.
