Cut /Measure

[ALAN GEDDES]

Started on my storage cabinets today. Is that measure twice and cut once or the other way around ? AL G

I usually just cut. Maybe that's why my doors aren't square on the mini hopper.

Oh that's an easy one. I measure once, and cut twice. The only problem is that instead of 120% of the wood required for a project, the number goes up to 150% of the wood required!

Of course if you are building a rustic pine teardrop, with #2 common pine, that's not so bad. Heaven forbid if you use something like teak or mahogany!
