Yeah, i recently had this situation with multiple packs of screws... In the store i was like "yeah i'm gonna take those for that, then those and this size too for there" a week later when i was putting the stuff together i was wondering why i bought so many different screws...

I hate it but documenting circuits is the most useful and valuable thing you can have, with a breadboard and about 30 wires connected to idk how many components. Google slide is the alternayive to powerpoint right? I liked to work with powerpoint and also draw.io, very useful!

That's a creative and also quite useful attempt to get started! You mostly make easy things or complicated/big stuff too?

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

Nice, i like that way but i never get myself to draw and size parts freehand. I'm too scared to draw something wrong and build some bizzarre van gogh like creations

I get that, often there are just tiny things that cost you so much time, while just "go ahead and try" could have fixed it in a fraction of that time. You are blessed with such a memory!

It's always great to run into people who are also short on material, during the running project. Not very uplifting but at least you are not alone

I see but still handy when it comes to selecting part sizes

Did you learn it that way or have you taught it yourself that way?

Is sketchUp easy to use? I'm thinking about to switch programms to be honest. Looking up measurements with your phones sounds quite good to me! Can you also simulate things in it? For example, push/pull on a drawer and check if it's stuck somewhere?

I'm 24, i mostly work with wood and when i start on the pc i just get measurements that seem to fit. When i'm done, i go to my nrighbour who owns a sawmill and ask what kind of wood he has in stock. I'l change the size of my created pieces on the pc and then i'm pretty much ready to start. Now i know how much wood i need, where to cut it and drill holes and how to connect them. I taught it to myself, so it's not perfect, neither the computer work, nor the wood working but i learn a lot when i'm going at it!
