Hello Richard,

I like this method you have described and have one question that also relates to this topic as a whole about the snap line. The question is this, why use an off-set line (2.25", 2" 1" or whatever) which I am guessing represents one or the other cheek of a tenon or side of a mortice, instead of a center line from which the tenon cheek or mortice sides are laid out? Is there a significant advantage of an off-set line over a center line?

Greetings,

Don Wagstaff
