April 30, 201610 yr My wife has a dog that sleeps with her. The dog is getting old and can no longer jump up on the bed. So she asked me to make a 3 step stair for the dog to use. Since the weather is nasty, showing, raining, cloudy, I said I would .I started and constructed the two sides and had paneling on each side. Now add the steps and it is done. But wait, something isn't right!! I looked again and took a break and had a coffee. In my haste to get this out of my garage, I had made 2 left sides.
April 30, 201610 yr Oops, but um how is it that one of the left sides, can't be used as a right side?
April 30, 201610 yr I feel your pain Ron. A couple of years ago I made a cabinet for trash with a raised panel front door that tipped out. Somehow, I screwed and glued the shelf for the trash can to the outside of the door.
April 30, 201610 yr Mistakes??? I could write a book. Cutting mortises on the wrong face, Cutting a ply wood panel for matching doors, only the grain ran sideways. not a bad mistake....if I hadn't glued it in the frame.
April 30, 201610 yr Author I had two finished left sides, if I turned one it would look like crud. I ever so calmy tore the hockey sticks out of one side and built another
