Don’t measure at all and just mark the piece to fit.
Hard to do when the pieces weigh 300lb (136kg) each

Isn’t it pretty much the basis of joinery?
With traditional hand cut joinery, yes sometimes. The traditional method of cutting dovetails involves cutting the tails and then using the tails themselves to mark the pins. Mortise and tenon joints are usually laid out with the same marking gauge.
Machine cut joinery involves precision measurements.
Ah yeah, was definitely thinking of hand cut joinery!
Weirdly dense positioning of the glory holes, but I get it, some workshops are smol.

Measure twice, cut wonke
