Labeling pieces during dry fit saved my last complex cabinet build

Marking each part with pencil during the dry fit stage prevented mix-ups and made assembly a breeze.

Ever try putting together one of those furniture kits where the diagrams make no sense? I had a chair once where all the side pieces looked identical until you tried to screw them in wrong. Ended up putting little bits of tape on the ends that matched up, like a dumb puzzle. Saved me from having to take the whole thing apart twice. Guess that's the same kind of logic, just with wood and pencil marks.
