I can do some pretty amazing things....
....like glue up a heavy solid interior door (30 X 80). Anybody can do that, right?
Sand all the parts and identify all the parts to ensure the glueup goes smoothly. Even give a coat of finish to the loose panel prior to the glueup.
Glueup went well -even a bit faster than I thought it would take.
BUT, how many of you can come back to check the glueup and suddenly notice the loose panel leaning against the wall?
Yep, I forgot to insert the loose panel????
heavy sigh....

We have all done something similar in some aspect of our lives, I am not sure that I would have been man enough to post it though!!

I don't think I have ever made anything that I did do something like that. Every time I do it I think well this time I learned and I won't do that again, but the problem is I don't make the same things over and over so I screw up on the next thing.
But I still keep building things.....

I made a bottomless drawer once. It didn't function very well.
Member
Sure happens to me. After making careful measurements and fiddling with the setup to get my drawer joints cut and fit properly, I dry fit my drawer together and thought I'd try fitting it in the carcass. Seems I forgot to leave the 1/2" on each side to accommodate the slides... At least I hadn't glued it.

No pics, didn't happen...

That's why I never take pictures of my mistakes.

One doesn't acquire the unique skill of breaking glue joints and removing brad nails by being perfect.

I've always believed that if there is a higher power, s/he has a sense of humor. Happy April Fool's?
We all do stuff like this - I appreciate when someone has the cajones to share because it sure makes me feel better about my goofs.

It is times like this when I give in to my primitive side...and smash something.

hahaha... i'm almost a master of this!

Hmm, my progress towards perfection seems to be accelerating!
