Initial thoughts of what marking out is?
In terms of marking out, i understand the importance of this when working with materials and drawing up plans to ensure accuracy and precision. My knowledge however does not extend beyond using a Pencil, ruler and a few vague memories of using a marking gauge on a piece of wood. If i am completely honest marking out is something i have often overlooked and rushed! In the past i have usually just taken a guess on measurements and hoped for the best, sometimes working and sometimes being disastrous!
What next?
- Using Measurements/ruler/compass
- Drawing Lines and making marks on material for manufacturing

What next?
- Familiarise myself with the tool available for marking out
- use appropriate tools for material being marked (wood/metal/plastic)
- Taken more time when marking out work and not rush to start cutting/folding etc
