wrong wood dimensions.

I am not familiar with how carpentry works in rl, if the measurements are supposed to be wrong for a specific reason, but its just bothering me a LOT that the measurements in the order listing is not the actual measurements you get, in metric the thickness and width is always -1.2cm less than the specified, the length is correct, which makes it kinda hard to work the math when the numbers you are given are just wrong.

edit: and just one other thing, a level tool would REALLY help, dunno if its something you guys plan on adding.

Hi, the discrepancy in lumber size you are referring to is the difference between nominal and actual lumber sizes in US (or North American) lumber. The nominal size is usually the dimension that is referred to when speaking about or advertising lumber, but the actual size is smaller by a predictable amount.

Here is a reference: https://www.archtoolbox.com/materials-systems/wood-plastic-composites/dimensional-lumber-sizes-nominal-vs-actual.html

A level is a great idea, and one I hope to eventually get in the game.

Hope this helps!

It is harder to use American lumber size differences as European
So...
Is it possible to get option to have European sizing standards ?
Or/And to order custom sizes that is 100% exact sizes ?

I'm not planning to add any other lumber sets since I'm not familiar with any other than US standards. It's pretty straightforward if you work in inches though, so it may be worth giving it a try if you are looking for precision.
