I just started my first welding / fabrication job after graduating welding school, and the number of times I've done this in 3 WEEKS has me mind blown, haha. Quick question... what is that type of tape measure called? It's pretty dark where I work, and that would come in handy for me.
Oh man! I tell you what, that stuff be making me furious! I use a little marking knife now, and if I have to transfer the mark with a pencil so it freaking stays there lol.
Imagine doing this on steel and you don't have your soapstone and all's what you have is a pencil The struggle is real usually I mark anything with metal with a grinder
You need to get a real tape measure and you should learn how to read a tape measure you wouldn't end up with these silly mistakes that none of us framers really deal with
If u think the problem is the tape measure ur missing the joke lol plus most of what I do is fine detail furniture so I need to be more precise than a framer tape measure
