You always measure with a micrometer, mark with a chuck, and cut with an axe!
"chuck?" Who is Chuck Marker? and why is he carrying an axe?

I can't hear your mentor say it, of course, but I've used the expression to convey the same thought about the measurement process. Don't bother with excess precision unless you intend to carry it all the way through. Oh, and I use a sharpie instead of chalk for marking and there's no axe in my toolbox.
