I'm not sure why, but I grasped that pretty early on. I think it's my
abiding faith in my own imprecision. I figure I may not get the
measurement exact, but I can make all the parts exactly the same.


It's called "batch cutting" and, as has been preached here numerous
times down through the years, is absolutely necessary to obtain the holy
grail of woodworking: SQUARE

In cabinetry and furniture making, SQUARE is the goal, "batch cutting"
the most important methodology in attaining it.
