Instagram post 17920858993531297 $A nice little run of tricks to show, and I apologize in advance to any woodworkers seeing this who will surely fall asleep while skimming. 1) my short term memory is quite terrible, so instead of looping dimensions in my head which quickly melt into whatever song I’m humming, or carrying around paper/scrap I’d lose, I write what I need on painter’s tape and affix to my tape measure. I rarely lose that. 2) the @woodpeckers_tools triangle is exactly 1/4” thick and the back slat grooves are a skosh over 1/4” wide, so I could easily use it to square the middle divider so I could take a dead nuts measurement of the yet-to-be-cut back’s length. 3) Since compound angles have been eliminated, calculating final length is simply adding fractions. I’m basically a physicist. 4) used screws sunk flush inside the rail grooves to affix the rails to the sides. The final design hasn’t yet been locked, so this will allow me to make adjustments later if necessary vs gluing them in place. Espresso FTW Oh! And I snuck in my foxy @blackwing pencil. One day I’ll have a photo hip enough to be reposted in their feed. I’m a Blackwing fanboy in waiting. . #blackwingpencil#nobelprize#mathmatician$
