I just did something you won't want to include on your video. I am building a bookcase headboard. This afternoon I put the sides, one of the shelves, and a front panel together. Having learned from my mistakes and other people's advise, I measured the diagonals to make sure everything was square. And, amazingly enough, it was. Then I take the piece of quarter inch plywood that will serve as the back to the headboard and lay it down. Oh no, something isn't right! It fits just right at the bottom but is too narrow at the top. After giving it some thought (clearly not enough thought) I realize the top was a quarter inch too long and so forced the sides to spread too far because I screwed them together at each end of the top. Not a problem, I'll just cut a quarter inch off the top piece and everything will be fine. As a matter of fact, the back piece did fit fine. Then I got the bright idea of using a square to make sure all the corners are 90 degrees. As my square informed me that both top corners were greater than 90 degrees, it hit me!! I had somehow messed up when cutting the quarter inch plywood back. The top had been the right length after all. But now it's a quarter inch too short. I should have known when I left for the Post Office without the mail and so had to go back and get it and then left the post office without getting the package waiting for us that it was not a day to put much stock in my ability to think. So, while I might make the blind bloopers, you don't want me on a video made, at least in part, to show sighted people how competent we blind folks really are. Ralph
