And so it begins

My brother, on the other hand, built plastic model kits as fast as possible with copious amounts of model cement "smeared" over the entire model.

I wasn't that bad but I've never had enough patience to do really well on most of them. Like woodwork, it takes patience. I don't do good wood work either.

I don't do good wood work either.

The old saying "Measure twice, cut once." is very pertinent to woodwork.

My late father was notorious for cutting wood just a little bit shorter than was actually required. Most people use a tape measure that starts a zero and the day that I found one of my father's tape measures that started at 2" I thought that I was seeing things. After a "double take" to confirm that the tape measure did indeed start at 2" I did eventually get it where it belonged, the dustbin.

"Measure twice, cut once."

No, I get that. I just don't have patience.

My issue with wood is that I can measure three or four times, and still not get a squared off cut. Must be my saws. All of them.
