Neat idea, Thanks!


I'd have to use a clamp to hold the top piece during marking- it would slip out of place for sure, if I just held it!

Tip: Keep Gorilla tape on your bench.


Two tapes I use, Gorilla for clamping and masking tape which is also used for creating barriers.

Me too Lew. I see these videos where they hold it and mark it and mine always slip. Must be camera trickery.
