That 100 cm doesn't divide evenly by threes? And if you made something 
in multiple of 40 cm, and you had 100cm boards, you'd be wasting large 
amounts of wood?

Just saying what I read in an interview with carpenters in places they 
use metric: They still use metric, but they don't buy wood in multiples 
of meters, because you can't chop it into anything but halves and fifths.
