THANKS, DAD I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT MYSELF WHAT IS THE CHANCE THAT I WAS MEASURING PLYWOOD THIS MORNING WITH CALIPERS AND CUSTOM RIPPING 2x6s TO WIDTH, DO YOU THINK ?https://twitter.com/bara/status/1237441432970883072 …

2/ and in a less shoutty voice, the gap from the concrete floor to the bottom of the door threshold is exactly 18", there are three steps, each will therefore be 6" tall, the plywood is 3/4" thick, therefore I ripped by 2x6s down to 5 1/4" each

3/ and, actually, the calipers said that the plywood is undersize by 1/64" of an inch, but I decided that I was going to just play fast and loose and let it go

4/ ...and, yes, I do always close my calipers and calibrate them by unloosening the nut and twisting the dial to zero them out before using.

5/ also, I'm aware of tolerance stacking, so it's possible that the finished steps might end up being 18" plus epsilon and not slide under the threshold ... and I considered building each step 1/32" short from the get go, but decided instead to just power plane as needed

6/ I know this is intended as gentle teasing, but to let you know how deep the OCD goes: actually, yes, I DO do a full dimensioned drawing for everything, on graph paper, then generate a cut list (with part IDs), then put check marks as I cut pieceshttps://twitter.com/tr0g/status/1237445231253041153 …

7/ it's not CAD and you're correct, there aren't tolerances ...but I do generate plans, label them, then file them away in a 3 ring binder in case I ever want to make another one years later (and sometimes I do)
