We did a Face Time, and I thought that combined with what I'd learned in that meeting and the pictures he'd already sent me that I'd be okay, but there were some discrepancies between his pictures and his descriptors in a graphic layout he made. IE Picture showed a measurement of 12.75" but his graphic described it as 13".
Combine that with pictures showing the end measurement but not the anchor ( beginning ) and sometimes he's using a ruler and sometimes he's using a tape measure ( we're all aware of the problem with the slop in the hook of a tape measure ) and then is previous statement to me, which was "I took woodworking shop in high school, but my projects kept getting smaller and smaller as I went along" and you can see why my trust level is not high. When I said I'd do this for him, I fronted the purchase of a huge sheet of walnut veneer, I'm using some of my last remaining Baltic Birch stock for the cabinet, and I'm using a 10 year old piece of Peruvian Walnut for the front bezel, so I've got one shot at this. I'm not taking any chances.
