I usually make a drawing a second grader would scoff at with measurements written next to the sides, then start cutting.

It doesnt work very well, but i do it anyways. I have fun, at least : D

That's the right mindset! A DIY is about having a good time anyway ^^

Same! I start with a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and maybe a straight edge. Make my sketch, write in lengths, buy supplies and get to it. I’m 40 btw

Right there in that same boat @ 38, heh.

I can usually get an estimate of what i am looking for in my head, and im able to keep it/remember it with the paper, hahahahah
