Always plan ahead
When planning works/projects, knowing & understanding scaling is fundamental to effective conservation and restoration. From the smallest detail to the largest structure, (claim) every element plays a crucial role.

Is the earth really smoother than a snooker ball?
This has been claimed many times before, but I doubt that it's actually true to be honest.
I haven't tried scaling down the earth, to be certain, because whilst science is indeed incredibly important, it's often based on theory's and projections. But having spent decades as a young man playing snooker, (which is another great way to learn angles & geometry, as well as understanding Newton's laws of motion further) and seeing snooker balls just with my own eyes, whereas theory's tend to not always include the full facts seen, and felt in practice by human beings.
So Personally I wouldn't try it myself because my own, experiential learning tells me not to waste my time, and that's another good reason not to believe your armchair 👍
Nice thought, but one I suspect (but have no proof of) was originated through my old friendd MARK ETING.
See what you think.
The six P's,
Before crying was invented
As an apprentice Craftsman, I was taught many old things, and one 'Golden Rule' which was impressed upon me was very simple.
But of course times change, and we didn't cry about everything, as appears to be today's idiocracy, so please read before teaching others because I won't take any notice of emails about hurty words.

So just accept that you are responsible for your own life 👍

The maths behind planning
In the latest trend of everyone appearing to think they arecexperts, because a youtube video says so, I thought I go back to my roots as a Heritage Specialist in the world of heritage projects, as a simple example.
Proper planning can bring a unique blend of historical knowledge and rigorous scientific application to each project, ensuring that your conservation methods are not only sympathetic to the building's original design but also structurally sound and durable.
However The DIYer telling you he's an expert, and then showing his homemade video where he proves his total ignorance of science, to me, is only going to cost you a fortune in remedial/corrective works to be carried out. But of course, the 'narrow minded' simply don't see that.
