You place it in position and mark the dimension on it. Then transfer the mark to the wood you intend to cut. In any application where one can be used, it's safer than measuring. Do carpentry alone long enough, you'll get real used to them. George Patterson A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you look forward to the trip.
