wombatie Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 My worst one but an easy fix was a Christmas present for my husband, 10 Drs' Who. Taken hours to cut while he was at work, framed and wrapped ready for Christmas Day. Gave it to him and he loved it, then my daughter looked at it and burst out laughing, in my haste I had framed it backwards. Instead of saying Dr Who it said ohW rD, through the center.

OCtoolguy Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Isn't it great to find out that none of us is perfect? I live by the old saying "measure twice, cut once" and still manage to screw up most of the time. I forget to put my brain in gear prior to releasing the clutch on my body. I always have to do things twice. That's why everything I make costs me twice as much.

I can't tell you how many times I have screwed up over the years. I think I'm taking everything into consideration and when I go to install something, it never fits. It's never too small. I always have to cut it down. I've learned how to hide my screw ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
