Although, I am a furniture-maker, I am interested in what kind of layout techniques you use.
For example, do you use pencils, marking knives, sumisashi, and/or sumitsubo? I've seen both Frank Klausz and Isao Inomoto use pencils with great results.
Do you use layout rods? I'm experimenting with using a trammel with two or three heads on it to mark out my key dimensions. I only need two or three (say, for the drawer stretchers, top and bottom of leg) and the rest are a result of those key lines .
What techniques do you use that are universal and think can be applied to furniture or other woodworking? Since you are making large-scale furniture in a manner of speaking?
