I’m an old time pencil and paper guy. I also have a nice set of french curves, and a fair amount of erasers. List out all the raw lumber blanks, have a sketch of what I’m building, or a picture where I can pencil in measurements, and start. I’ve always been able to visualize what I want in my mind, so it just becomes a matter of measurement. That’s not to say my first paneled cabinet door came out exactly right…just that I knew what I wanted, and paying attention to my own notes gets me home so far, and I’m 39 years into this “hobby”.
