Random Quick Tip!

Marking A Spot
If you need to mark a special spot on a project but you don't want to write on it, scratch it or something else that can do damage, use a small piece of painter's tape on the spot, then draw a line on that piece of tape exactly where you want the mark to be. The tape is safe for all surfaces and can be easily removed, when done, without leaving a residue.
