half of a 1/4tsp is 1/8tsp!. You can eyeball it using the 1/4tsp measuring spoon that you have!.!.!. but!.!.!. for me, and my sized fingers, I find that two "pinches" is about 1/8th tsp!.

Geeez ! Just use the 1/4 tsp as leveled measurement and curse the idiot and the editor that came up with the 1/8 tsp measurement !.!.No wonder people run into so much needless difficulty cooking stuff !.
Here's the math on that :
1TBS =!.5 oz liquid
1tsp =!.5/3=!.166
!.166/4 =!.0416
!.0416/2 =0208 oz
Does anybody actually think that regardless of ingredient that little amount of product is going to make a bit of difference in any recipe!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

1/8 is smaller than 1/2 or 1/4, so neither of your measuring tools will work!. Luckily 1/8 is also called a "pinch" in some cook books!. With that being said, a pinch of whatever ingredient (I'm guessing salt) should be a fine substitute!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You need to eyeball out half of the 1/4 teaspoon measure!. 1/8 of a teaspoon is a very small amount, really only a pinch or two of whatever the ingredient is!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is 1/2 of the 1/4 teaspoon!. In the "olden days" a 1/8 teaspoon measure was called a "pinch" and a "dash was less than 1/8 of a teaspoon!.
