    Good luck to you - I can't tell that in real life, let alone woodwork.

    Default Joiners' Marks

    Cool... i think these marks may have been developed by semi literate pre-industrial tradesmen and used in production scenarios where the person doing the marking up wasn't necessarily the person doing the cutting. There is a lot of detail that if I were doing it myself I'd find it faster and less confusing to write 'bottom', 'top', 'R style', 'L style', etc.

    They're pretty glyphs though.

    Cheers
    Matt
    ...I'll just make the other bits smaller.

    You forgot the smiley right ? The loops at the base eliminate any confusion.
