    Don’t measure at all and just mark the piece to fit.

      One might be surprised at how often this happens.

        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.

      Hard to do when the pieces weigh 300lb (136kg) each
