Story boards are pieces of your pending project that tell the “story” of how you made that particular cut, joint, route,etc. I use a standard Delta miter saw so when I did the crown molding in my house, I created story boards of the angled inside and outside corners. This type of crown molding requires a compound miter which is possible with my saw if you place the board correctly. Remembering just how to place that board is damn near impossible. So the story boards show you how! And yes, after that project was finished 3 years ago, I still have the story boards!

One of these days though, I’ll buy a nice compound miter saw…with a laser too!
