measure twice cut once I don't believe that I have ever measured before using an axe. I have measured with a micrometer, and I was using a honing stone to get the measurement right at that point. I have also marked with chalk, but that was for knowing how deep to pour the concrete.   BOINC WIKI ID: 922336 · |
