Appreciation post: The foreman who taught me to read a room before a cut
Back in 2019 on a remodel in Austin, this old foreman named Dale watched me square up a door frame for about ten minutes. He didn't say anything until I was about to rip the jamb, then he just put his hand on the saw and said, 'You're cutting for the level, not for the eye.' He showed me how the ceiling had a 1/4 inch bow that would make any tight gap look like a disaster. I've carried that with me on every trim job since, even on new builds where people swear the walls are flat. Anyone else have a mentor moment like that, where one line changed how you see your work every day?

Did Dale ever explain how he spotted that bow so fast?
