Another great conversation,

There are many different styles, and I am sure names as well, but what I make and use most often is a Sumisashi-(sorry I had the Kanji here but the stupid graphics on this forum don't work at all-literal translation: Ink Feed.) When I was still and apprentice, I have seen entire frames cut without a tape measure, and often today, once we have a design and a story pole created, (vertical stick blue print,) there is no more use of a tape measure.

Just as Roger N. suggested you take your datum off the story pole and strike a mark with a knife (or pencil,) recheck your layout with some form of "back check," and then, in our case, because we use line rule, you set you layout templates on your target marks and ink the cut lines of the joint, Highlight the waste with "hashi," marks.
