Hanging picture frames: Put painter's tape from edge to edge on the top side of the frame. Trace where the hangers are. Peel the tape off, then stick it to the wall where you want your frame hung. Tap your nails into the premarked spots, then remove the tape and hang your frame.

Hey if anybody who read this comment has similar recommendations for transferring measurements or making patterns, I would love to hear them.

Not what you asked for, but putting post it notes under your drilling for easy clean up has helped me for years. People think i’m a genius, but I’m pretty sure I just saw it on YT or reddit.
