It's sad how some skills get lost, but ADAPTING is key to survival. The heart of craftsmanship shifts but doesn't disappear.

Have you ever had a project go wrong because you didn't measure properly? I get the appeal of eyeballing, but I've had too many pieces not fit together when I trusted my gut. That satisfaction can turn into frustration if you have to redo work. I find taking time to measure carefully actually saves me effort in the long run. A little planning prevents wasted materials and fixes later on. My own experience taught me that tools don't lie, but my eyes sure can.
