Nice. I saw this use of blue tape to help make accurate dowel alignments. What I like about that one is that the arrangement of the tape that record the holes, easily transfer to the other target location: UA-cam video: Genius Idea? Game Changing trick for Perfect Dowel Alignment without a Jig
I did something similar with clear packing tape. I laid the tape over some pre-existing holes I had to match. Marked the holes on the tape. Then pulled up the tape in one piece and used the tape as a drilling template. Worked great.
You can find the center easy with blue tape. Run a length of tape just past the edges. Mark the edges and then fold in half while lining up the end marks. The fold will be your center. Thanks for video.
You can re-reverse the layout by following Ron's procedure, then pulling the tape off and adhering it to a piece of cardboard or hardboard and punching the holes through. Either side can then be used to position screws.
Would you give me more information on the clear storage containers at the end of this video? I looked on the link that you posted, but could not find them.
ORrrrr, you can put the screws in the slots, then place the tape over them, allowing the screws to poke through. Then just press the charger/power-strip/whatever to where you want it.
Is that simpler ? I'm pretty sure I could have measured the distance for the screws and had them in place before you peeled the tape off the motion detector.
What he did actually goes much faster than that if he's not explaining every step as he goes. Plus, you can layout multiple items and readjust as necessary before you start drilling.

great trick as long as the pattern you want to transfer is not irregular, as the transferred pattern will be mirrored

Oh my this is a good one! I taped a lot when I made my Paulk templates
Blue tape is definitely a workshop hero~! Soooo many uses. Good video~!
Thanks, Ron!
Great tip.
Glad it was helpful!
Very cool!
Pretty slick!

Good information but it was drawn out too much. This would have been a great utube short video.

Why didn’t you put the pocket screw holes on the inside where can’t see them
This is a functional, adjustable brace. The forward-facing screws are an integral element of the efficient design.
Done it with paper a million times.

Where they're at? You mean where they are!
