Default Texas "Hill Country" woodworking ... or working to an 1/8th on a nippy Texas morning.

About the only foundation crew I would ever let into my shop:

All diagonals measured to an 1/8th, or less, bubbles split the lines, and
more accurate woodworking, dimension wise, than many cabinet projects I've
seen.

... and what a gorgeous morning if you must need be out of the shop!


The stories I could tell !!!
Like the time I stopped in on one crew ... the were measuring and
laying out the forms for a slab. Cement was on it's way. Didn't have
time to listen to my "friendly advice" about checking the diagonals.
Could have gotten it closer to sqaure by eye than they did that one !
(we're talking feet not inches and certainly not fractions)

Congrats on finding some good ones!

Finally up into the positive temps here in Maine.
burrrrr
