Address labels highlight layout marks on dark woods
Precise and clear layout lines are essential for crisp joinery. But layout lines are notoriously hard to see on walnut and other dark woods. To help, I attach an address label to the wood and lay out the joinery on that. The white label gives me a nice contrasting background to lay out my joinery, making it easy to read later on.
Address labels are cheap, come in a variety of sizes, don’t leave a residue on the wood, and can be found at any office-supply store.
