Now I know...

why I have a shop! As feeble as my attempts at building quality furniture may be, they more than justify the expense I have incurred over the last 20 years.

I am 683 miles from home, experienced a dental emergency and made an appointment. Alone, in my haste to get to the appointment and not leave the family members house unlocked, I managed to get locked in the garage. I couldn't get the garage door open. Finally, moving a bunch of stuff, I escaped through the side door locking it behind me.

When I returned as I attempted to clean up my mess, I volunteered to assemble a piece of Bush brand furniture. In the assembly process, I accidentally leaned forward placing too much of my weight on it and blew out a hole for one of the connectors.

Granted it's designed and built to meet a price range but I prefer my feeble attempts plus it keeps me out of trouble.
