Measure with a micrometer.

Mark with a chalk.

Cut with an axe.

(Apparent practice at a workshop I used to frequent.)

Old crusty semi-retired engineer I knew said when he was young he liked designing things to close tolerances. But once he was old he found more pleasure in designing things that worked with really shitty tolerances.

-I had a colleague once, fresh out of mechanical engineering at the local univerity college, who as his first project did a locking pawl for a winch drum.

Tolerance? H7.

The fitters threw a fit trying to make that happen.

Clearly he wasn't working in any sort of mechanical capacity while getting that community college degree.
