Ben's Workshop Journey #91 (Starting to cut the panels to size)

After what seems a mammoth session sanding and smoothing the panels, I can not get around to marking and then cutting them to size prior to panel raising. But, and this might come as no surprise, I hit another snag. It's that old chestnut, of finding some of the components the wrong size. There is a work-around, honest.
On a house-keeping matter, I'm using a different video editing piece of software after having to replace my main computer. Please let me know if I need to make any adjustments to editing.

Nice video Ben, been looking forward to it. Things seem to be coming along nicely with the project. Marking stock and cutting to the line accurately is one of my issues, though I am making progress in that area. Just need to spend more time in my workshop. Retiring fully in August so will have all the time I need. Take care.👍

@@jimrick52 Thanks, Jim. I know what you mean about cutting to a line. Doing it with a handheld saw is out for me. I have tried every which way and I just cannot do it. With machinery, it takes me some time to get it right but I can't rush. As to retiring, I'm November. My wife has plenty of jobs lined up for me so not sure if I'll get more time in the workshop.

@@benelliott8745 I know what you mean Ben. I retired Dec 2022 but carried on part time til my wife retires this August. Never mastered the hand saw, just couldn't do it. Better with power tools. My wife asked me to build my workshop so I'll have a hobby, she wants me building bird houses and garden planters etc. plus it will keep me from under her feet.
