    Default WOODWORKING QUIZ for 25 July 04

    Good Evening Friends,
    I know you don't normally use Board Feet in the land of OZ but, would you try to figure this problem for me?

    If you have 21 pieces of 5/4 x 8 x 12' of timber, how many Board feet would you have?

    Gidday Ralph.

    From dark recesses of my youth I think 8x11/4 @ 12 foot long=10 super foot per board which makes the order 210 super feet, I think is the answer.

    Default WOODWORKING QUIZ ANSWER for 25 July 04

    Good Evening Friend,
    The answer is indeed 210 super or board feet and it is figured in the same method that has already been posted .

    21 x 1 1/4 x 8 x 12 = 2520/12=210. If you noticed that when you multiplied the 21 x 1 1/4 x 8 you automatically had the correct answer with out using the 12'.

    Thank you for your support.
