    At least for me, that has more to do with misremembering what I measured than mismeasuring it

    Can’t count how many times I the workshop I measured something, made a mental note of it, walked back to the workbench, only to have to walk back and remeasure it because now I’ve forgotten what I just measured lol

      I got in the habit of writing that shit down on scraps of paper or wood. And then, of course, I got in the habit of dropping those scraps of paper or wood into the growing pile of scraps of paper or wood back in my shop and picking up the wrong one when it came time to cut.

      And this is why I always have a bunch of marking and numbers and other vandalism on whatever board or piece of material I’m using.
