Measure and Mark First Board

What happens here

Begin by understanding the project requirements: the desired length (e.g., 139.5 units) and the total number of boards needed (e.g., eight). Ensure one end of your board is perfectly straight and square; this will be your reference point. Using a measuring tape and a speed square, measure from the straight end and make a precise mark on the board at the required length. This mark will serve as the cutting guide for the initial set of boards.
