Norm! I like the theme and the way you show by DOF that measuring isn't as easy as it seems!

This triggered a memory--we used to have a handyman who measured once, didn't write it down, and then made perfect cuts, each and every time. Then tragedy struck--while working one day (at my then boss's house) two brain aneurysms ruptured. He recovered, but could never again remember a measurement long enough to even write it down. So sad. #10977461

A unique and creative set up and capture!!

Reminds me of a story my used to tell of a fellow workman who when asked to measure a board came with, "twice to me elbow and these two nails." #10977511
