Use the 10" mark instead of the 1" mark to eliminate end play error. This way is much less prone to forgetting to subtract the offset.

Great video. There's actually a very specific reason why every single tape measure has that play at the end of the tape, it is to compensate precisely 1mm where you're hooked on the a peice or when pushing against it. But I guess it can where out over a long time.

For finding blind holes, check out the blind hole strap duplicators that come in 6” and 12” varieties. They are great for a door or small panel, for larger panels check out blind hole spotters. They come in threaded and non threaded options. All of these are inexpensive and great to have in your box. We use them on aircraft metal repairs quite a bit. 👍. Great video!

No. 5 - A little more work, but get a wood ruler and accurately drill holes at every 1/2 inch. At the beginning, drill every 1/4 (or 1/8) inch. Now you can accurately make any size hole up to it's limits. One hole for the pin and the other for the marker. Works for me.

The flat head screw for centering bolts also works as a way to install PEM nuts if you can't get an arbor press into the location to install them. Just use a strong flathead with a hex or Torx drive and screw down the PEM nut until it fully installs itself and clinches in the sheet metal. Small diameter bolts might snap, so be careful under around M4 or #10.

You can make any size of oval by making a 90 degree + sign. If it needs to be 6 inches wide and 12 inches long. Start with the half of each dimension which would be 3 inches and 6 inches. You use the idea of short to the long and long to the short so fat as measurements. The original has to be long enough on each leg to cover the longest distance. So start with the 3 inch distance and then move the 3 inch along the horizontal leg and the 6 inch half on the vertical line 6 inch side. As you slide the points along mark the end of the ruler in close points and that will give you all you need. Trim the first quarter and fold the quarter part and mark for the other half and trim and then fold in half again the other direction and mark and trim and you have the oval pattern for the size you need.

The play you mention on the measuring tape is actually part of its design. The space that it can move/wiggle back and forth is exactly the width of the metal itself, thus, you can either make the measurement by pushing it against something, or pulling it on an edge. If It didn't have the wiggle room, the measurement would be off by 1/64"-1/32".
