*** Wagner Meters Affiliate
A moisture meter is one of those tools that saves you grief later, especially with drawers and tight-fitting parts. I check stock before I start cutting—on this build I was happy seeing readings well below and stable, and the drawer material at about 11–12% for my shop.

Pros
- +Helps prevent problems like shrinking and sloppy drawers
- +Quick readings so you can decide before you mill lumber
Cons
- -Adds an extra step to your workflow if you’re not used to checking moisture
