I've used "story sticks." They are much better than using a tape
measure. For example, I made one to set a specific height for my
electrical outlets in the shop. No measuring required.

When we were having our house remodeled, the contractor used a 1 inch

haven't seen anyone else use this system of making cabinets. Is this
an old system not used any more? Can't really find anything of much
substance on the internet either. Thanks for your time and efforts.
