Layout Building Tip

at the points sticking furthest out... Then build your layout a tiny bit
smaller.
It came down to a choice between window trim and having the layout fit.
The window trim lost. Good thing I own the place.

Puck,
A window sill is what, one and a half inches wide? You couldn't have
notched that much out of the outside perimeter of your benchwork without
major changes to your track plan?
In my case, I get half the width of my basement. That means I have a
nine inch thick concrete wall on one side and the lally columns on the
other.
That makes my measuring easier, I guess, which is a good thing
because neither the wall or the columns are going to lose.

The trim (not the sill) stuck out 5/8". On the other wall, there were
some outlets at arm's height (42") that stuck out 1/4". It was much
easier to remove the bottom of the trim than to modify the layout.
