16 th and 32nd increment readings.
A friend of mine was bragging about his tape measure, so I just had to have one. Ordered from Amazon, and arrived yesterday. Chuck
Box was a bit beat up, but the pressure pot is intact. Paint job sucks, but what the heck, I'll be doing resin casting in it. 
"A bit beat up"!! That's an understatement.
Ok, so what is there to brag about? Try to sell it a little.
ok, I'm interested. I'm always measuring buildings - how long do they make them? My pet peeves for tape are 2 - one is the hook is too little and not accurate, and the other is that lock/unlock doesn't work well. Among a few that I have I use a FatMax 35' the most. The wide tape really reaches out there. But the lock don't work so well! Also carry around a Bosch Digital for those big jobs. Not easy to read in bright sunlight though. Used to carry a 300' tape, but that is usually not an easy 1-man affair.
Just got it yesterday, so don’t have first hand experience yet. One feature I do like is when you pull out the tape it stays in place until you punch the button to retract it. I’ll try to remember to come back and give a more in-depth review after I’ve used it a bit. Found a review of it in the Amazon page for it. Chuck

Mine is 25’. I couldn’t find a longer one… yet. I would recommend watching the quick videos on the Amazon page for it. Chuck
Outstanding! Show us what you make! Chuck
Will do!
Barb, I forgot to mention that the bark was left on for you to use as a filler in the large holes on the largest piece. Also, on the stump, when you cut the roots off, use them to help fill in spots that might need it. You will be surprised at what the bark can do for looks. I'll get a couple pictures later on today if memory doesn't take a vacation. ................ Nubs
This was done years ago. It’s still not done, but you can see what the Cholla looks like. ….. Nubs
OMG Jerry! Reminds me of Italian Nero Portoro Black Marble with gold veining! That piece is beyond gorgeous- I am available for adoption and I am low maintenance

PS- what is the size?
3 1/8" tall, about 3 1/2 diameter. Wall is 1/8+ and the bottom is 3/8 thick. The bowl itself is sitting on a 13/16 foot that is hollowed also, hence the 3/8 bottom thickness. I just might remount it when I get a lathe and trim it down to 3/16's thick. Gotta get a working lathe first. Still haven't turned since SWAT last year after totaling my lathe. .................

I'm the one that needs to be adopted. I don't do housework though. ........... NubsOMG Jerry! Reminds me of Italian Nero Portoro Black Marble with gold veining! That piece is beyond gorgeous- I am available for adoption and I am low maintenance

Yep, use a screwdriver to pry it loose. Try to save as big a pieces as you can, then stuff it into any depressions you see. In the end, you will more than likely like what you see.
I have several boxes of bark from Cholla. Years ago I offered some, and one person asked. I don't think I got back with him as the box is still full, and for the life of me, I don't remember who it was. ............ Nubs
Got 3 bowl blanks today, Canarywood, Garlic wood, and Aliso.
