Planning frames... offset
Its all down to
a) how good you are
b) what you are doing
Afer 25 years I still use a planning frame. I also do offset. However, for speed and accuracy, you canny beat a planning frame. stick to pins in the corners in the direction you are planning... lift, drop the frame into the next position, move you pins... for some things though, and with confindence, offset works just as well, using the human eye to fill in betwen the measured points. Perhaps a BAJR Guide is in the offing(set) at least at the Planning (frame) stage.
