I used to keep extensive records of my sound board mapping and of my finishing schedules. But it becomes intuitive after you've done it a lot of times and you're happy with the results you've gotten. Still, with every batch of ukes I build it seems there is at least one new thing I discover, no matter how small it seems. I do many of these procedures only once a month so it helps to write these things down. I've got little Post-Its all over my shop (that I rarely look at!)
