I had to laugh...
After bitching about the chiwanese chairs I was repairing not being
square, I confess to a senior's moment (even though I'm not Mexican). The back of the chair is 2" narrower than the front, by design. A stupid mistake on my part. Have to remember to measure all 4 sides next time, not just the front and one side. My son/shop assistant got a good chuckle in at dad's expense when I realized what I had done wrong... |

And then you realize that it is something so common that there is no way you should have made such a mistake. Yet... -- -Mike- |

Mine were caused by going back and forth between measuring with the inside and outside of my framing square. I'm learning to pay closer attention! : ) |
