So you use the gird as a reference? Kinda like battleship? When your board is on the grid you then know that you need a cut at 6D or 6,4 (whether you use the numbers or letters to designate x & y axis)? If so man that is awesome! I am always cutting tiny strips of console tape and numbering the sides, top and bottom of my boards, and I would use that as a reference when making cuts and placing components. This grid will safe so much headache, and I will no longer feel like one of those people at six flags that writes your name tremendously tiny on a piece of rice, remember that?
Anyways, I totally wish I thought of that grid sooner. Thanks hombre!

To make life easier, i print out a grid of co-ordinates so it's simple to transfer the layout strip cuts from the art to the piece of board. Stuck the printout to a piece of boxboard so it will last and be handy, if i had a laminator that be the final detail.



For anyone that wants the grid... pdf.
Wake up and smell the noise!!
