It will have a backer so with luck I'll get away with it. Right now I'm too pissed off to even look at it though! Time for a beer. Rob P.S. It is evening here....

WayneMahler Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I think it would be safe that many of us have been there and done that. Not a happy place I know first hand. The worst one I had was 16 hours cutting, taking off the pattern it slipped out my hand ( like a fool I was walking around to stretch my legs ) and it hit a concrete floor. I still haven't forgot that and now remove patterns on my work bench. OCtoolguy and JTTHECLOCKMAN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPi Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I didn't even break anything (yet) (today) and I think it's time for a beer. It is only 6:30 am here, but you can't drink all day if you don't get started early. Beer for breakfast.

kmmcrafts Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Yeah,, sure have been there.. my most recent one was posted here.. and I didn't even break it.. I mis-spelled it in the pattern design work.. then proceeded to cut it out and apply a finish on it.. I didn't even catch this mistake until I was packaging it up and getting ready to deliver it to the customer.... Also have been known to glue the backer on the front side of the project a few times, LOL SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCROLLSAW703 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 why Mr. Kevin! Kudos to you! I'm happy to hear you are kinda like the rest of us! For awhile there, I was beginnin' to think ya was on a pedestal. Yes, fact is is, we have all been there. I was cuttiin' a Wolfs' head project, good sized one, & it had several wolves runnin', trees, things like that inside the head. Alot of fret work that I'd already completed. I got up from the saw to take my dogs out & caught it on my britches! Pulled it off the saw deck & it the floor! Even a carpeted floor didn't save it! I don't drink, but I sure thought it about it! The vocabulary I spit out weren't repeatable, but needless to say, it screwed up my whole day!! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2woodwrk Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I completely feel your pain... I have a display cabinet I've been trying to finish for 1 1/2 years, I keep knocking over the door which is mitered and it keeps coming apart. I glue it, set it and knock it - 5 times now. Next time it's fire wood! OCtoolguy and Rob 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Mr. Kevin, most of us with any perseverance in us, failure is NOT an option. You keep learnin', adaptin', readin', & keep puttin' one foot in front of the other. My sincere apologies if I offended you in any way. I figgered a little jab wouldn't hurt ya any. I make mistakes, too, I just ain't in the habit of talkin' about'em, unless it's somethin' I've done over & over, & still ain't able to get it right. Then I have to take a step back & read, come here & ask questions. I'm a lot like you. A perfectionist in every way. Except my shop. I could use a maid. But I have tall expectations of my equipment, therefore, I spend the extra time on bearings, cleanin' up rough edges, waxin' tables, etc. kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just guessing - DeWalt? If so, you now you know why the table tops on DeWalt and saws with similar table tops are called "tear drop" table tops. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
