I spent most of the afternoon squaring up a jig so repeat cuts land in the same place every time, which saved more effort than any single clever trick. Small tolerances add up: a fraction of a millimetre off at the start becomes a visible gap by the end. I keep a running log of what worked and what wasted time, because memory is unreliable after a long session. Cheap calipers, a sharp pencil, and patience beat expensive tools used carelessly. Next up is tidying the bench and labelling the offcuts so the next build starts faster.]]> Field notes from the workbench this week.
