The planning is it for me too I think.

- How can I get these parts/cuts etc accurate without measuring them all each time? Or without measuring at all but just transferring the dimension.

- Can I clamp that glue joint together with the weird angle?

- How can I get the most from these sheets of plywood / beams of lumber? How to fit the stuff in the car, or do I split up etc?

- Can I make 2 things of the same dimension with 1 cut?

- Can I make that without needed other tools?




> Can I make 2 things of the same dimension with 1 cut?

When I realized that "measure once, cut twice" is actually the superior methodology I laughed for a week.

(As in, set up your cuts or use jigs so that you aren't trying to mark 34 5/16 inches on 6 separate pieces of wood and expecting them to be the same length afterwards.)
