The precision of a good woodworker. I watch videos sometimes, they can make something from almost nothing. I can’t even hang a picture straight. The way they measure and cut, always precisely right. It’s a level of focus I envy.

It's truly more than just precision, isn’t it? It involves an understanding of the wood grain itself, anticipating how it will react to the tools.
"That’s a fascinating point. I’d imagine knowing the wood's characteristics is key to avoiding splitting or warping after it's assembled."
Exactly. And thinking about pottery, a similar consideration of the clay’s nature is crucial, ensuring it won’t crack during firing.

The page gutters are noticeably wider in older editions. Remarkable, really.
