for most things i plan on making again i try to capture the details into
a notebook

but sometimes i do not capture every single detail and then i find
that in two months or six months i discover some small detail that i
forgot to write down

then i go looking for an example in physical form

if i cannit find that i look for photos

photos are second best but usually provide the info i need


now if i forget photos and sold all the pieces then i wing it

sometimes while winging it i hope to improve upon the design
