I've always built a lot of electronic stuff, but never really made things
out of wood or metal.

The 'calipers as scratch gage' is a pretty common technique for
chassis work in electronics. Most times it gives quite acceptable
results.

In that business, if you need parts to mate up then drill the
holes in assembly.
