Blew 9 hours on a face frame because one stile was 1/16 out of square
Unpopular opinion: sometimes it is faster to trash a piece than chase it. Last week I built a 42 inch face frame for a bathroom vanity and the right stile came out 1/16 off square. I kept trimming and shimming and remeasuring at my bench in Fresno until 11pm, thinking I could save it. Nine hours later I ripped it apart and cut a fresh stile in 20 minutes. Should I be checking square on every stick before glue up, or is there a jig you all use to catch this earlier?
