Check twice, cut once..

[Enen]

How many of us have heard this saying before? I've always considered it sage advice, and try to practice this as it relates to my business. I am sure many of you do too. One of the guys that also follows this mantra is Eric from SC Wake.

Eric stopped by my shop today with a digitized template of the Sea Dek we designed for my swim step. Thought I'd share a few pics of him checking, and double checking the pattern before the Sea Dek is cut.

In my trade it’s measure twice cut once but same difference I think

I measure twice and sometimes 3 times.

Here’s a few more detail pics of the slight adjustments they do to insure the Sea Dek fits perfectly.

That has to be a bit tricky with those curved openings.

Maybe just the angle of the photo... is your swim step flat or does it slightly slope to the middle?

I cut it twice and it’s still too short.

It's flat.

lol. This was the first thread I read after seeing this article. Always check twice!

A mother's effort to honor her young children went terribly wrong when the tattoo she got of her son's name was spelled incorrectly — so she took what some might call an unusual approach and named her son after the tattoo.

"Kevin," the two-year-old son of Johanna Sandstrom, of Sweden, was renamed "Kelvin" after a tattoo artist inked the wrong name on her arm.

"I said I wanted the names of my children tattooed on me and I gave the artist their names," she said, according to The Independent. "The artist drew the design and didn’t ask anything about the spelling so I didn’t give it any more thought."

The mother, who also got the name of her daughter, Nova, tattooed, said when she got home and saw the tattoo, "My heart stopped and I thought I was going to faint."

When she returned to the tattoo shop, Sandstrom claims the tattoo artist laughed and said the only thing he could do to fix the situation was give her a refund.

She said that, after realizing it would take several treatments to remove the tattoo, she and her husband decided the easiest fix was to change their son's name instead.

"I had never heard the name 'Kelvin' before," she said. "There isn’t anyone who names their kid Kelvin. So when I thought more about it, I realized that no one else has this name. It became unique. Now we think it is better than Kevin."

Sandstrom told the newspaper she'll make sure to check "10,000 times" before she gets the name of her third child, Freja, tattooed.
