When cutting a rectangle (square U shape) out of the side of a board, mark the side to be cut and the side to be left alone. Otherwise it is possible to cut the wrong part out.
I know that you or I would never do that, but it happened to a guy that lives on my street so I figured I'd pass it on. Just in case.
I'm trying really hard to see how this could happen. Nope, just not seeing it, uh-uh.
My sympathies to your friend. You should take him out to dinner at a good resturant. Marc

When that happens, next thing you know it'll end up in your shop and you'll have to fix it.
... if you don't believe me, just go look.

sometimes he's really upset and can't believe his own bad luck/stupidity
I think I'll take him out for a beer to cheer him up.
I've heard of things like this but never actually saw it happen.

I once met a bloke who did things like that, then I got rid of the mirror in my workshop and never saw him again.

Hmmm.. if you mark both sides how do you know which one is which? :)
Thanks, I'll pass that one on to my, um, neighbor.

Better: "Some idiot put the pencil mark on the wrong side of the cut line"
One reason I have a box of white chalk on hand.
Tends to solve the above problem.
