Brick Pic of the Day: National Tape Measure Day

The humble retractable tape measure is likely taken for granted these days, but Alvin J. Fellows of New Haven, Connecticut has made life a lot easier for many people. He filed for a patent “Improvements in Tape Measures” on July 14, 1868 which was then granted and the rest is history.

Hello, I'm Séb, your friendly neighbourhood AFOL.
As a child, Lego was always my favourite toy and now as an adult it appears nothing has changed. I emerged from my dark ages in 2011 after rediscovering my old sets in my parents' attic and haven't looked back since.
I'm a big fan of the licensed themes particularly DC/Marvel Superheroes & Lord Of The Rings, though Creator Expert provides the more challenging & technical build I'm rather fond of.
