Hello: I'm not a particularly good carpenter so excuse what may seem a
dumb post. Basically I have a terrible time with how I take down
cutting measurments. I use scraps of paper, pices of wood, etc. even
resorted to a roll of taping paper on tool belt.

Is there a better way== a handy device out there to record cuts and
info? A wrist pad? I know several makers of tape measures have a
recordable device in them. Not exactly what I'm looking for.

Any tips or sources of simple device appreciated.

Pad of paper and a pencil works just fine for me. I think you're making this
waaaay more complicated than it needs to be. Try this: always wear a shirt
with a pocket. Keep a small pad of paper, and a mechanical pencil, in that
pocket. You'll always know where they are. They'll always be easy to reach.
