Recent lesson, a bit humorous to me, but also timeless instruction, captured here in a photo,

Cutting material for a project last week, there were two parts that mirrored each other.

The piece in the top was the left over from the first half of the job, the bottom from the second half,

I estimated , measured the second half more accurately, materially, evidentially so,

Good lesson and reminder, “Measure twice, cut once.”
