Keep notes

Taking notes is a lost art with today’s machinists, but it still has value and purpose. The more complex a job is, the more steps need to be remembered. A machinist will come to appreciate the process of thoroughly thinking through, visualizing, and writing down the steps of a job. The documentation will help to ensure consistency if multiple parts are needed. Planning out the job will also provide a list of tools to gather before starting the project.
