What percentage of your projects do you have at least one OH-%#@^&* on?
Seems like I run about 99%.

I don't have any. At my age I've already in my past screwed up everything that could posibly be screwed up at least once.

I have yet to make a piece of furniture that was perfect. Everyone had something I wish I would have done better or at the least, different. I find the longer I make furniture, the more critical I am of the finished product. The small curly maple desk I finished recently, was a case in point ( photos on this site).

Everything!!! Sometimes I even modify a project to facilitate the mistake. One time I was making a cutting board and by the time I was done it turned out to be a letter opener.

Anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of.

We arrive at this moment...by the unswerving punctuality...of chance.
Can't say that I've ever done any project perfect but I usualy can do a work around and make it look like it was planned...
On a side note, I was reading one of my Maloof books and he mentioned that his hard line was a mistake he made while making a chair that after he made it he thought it looked good so he started to incorporate it into his designs...Goes to show you that even a Master Woodworker can make an opps now and then.
Most of my "for compensation" projects have hundreds if not several thousand hand cut pieces. As such, these moments occur with such frightening regularity that I get really nervous when I go through a period of civilized speech. It is indeed the calm before the storm.

I'm with Roger.
I've already screwed up about everything that can be.
I don't have any more mistakes to make
Every project I make some kind of mistake on.
My brain works like this: take my time and all's well, rush me and oops!

100% have at least one "Ooops!" in them. ~ 95% of those are salvagable.
