Ever have one of does days?

Been there. Done that; more than once, twice. Too many times to count.

Don’t feel bad if someone says it never happened to them they are just L…..

I hear you. I thought I would save $$ and wood by cutting out pieces as efficiently as possible. I did do that but was not paying attention to how the grain should go. After I broke the piece and stared over… sigh.

I don’t understand: I’ve cut this board three times and is still too short! :o)

Don’t go to the lumberyard, you’ll end up buying bubinga instead of plywood and it’ll hurt. Grab a beer and chill out for today.

Only too short one end toyguy, the other end would have been OK. I hate those days. Had one earlier this week $#@$$%&*(&^&$%^%^&&

My old favorite saying, “cut it twice and it’s still too short”.

That’s why my gas bill is so low.

I had that happen when I started out to make a steamer trunk. It ended up being a lunch box!

When I have one of those days, (too many to count) I get out of the shop before I make a really big mistake and leave a body part lying around.

I just started a play table for my daughter’s Christmas-dollhouse-surprise last night. I had the whole thing planned out ahead in my head (warning sign), and ripped the first few pieces I would use for trim. Made the base for the table top, put a sheet of laminated pine on the top, fits perfect, feeling really good about this, etc…

Stopped to think for a moment before realizing that my plan for legs suddenly wouldn’t work, and that my trim pieces were an inch too narrow.

I wanted to kick my brain…
