For those who have not seen it, I write a woodworking blog over at Chuckin' Wood. Last week while attempting a double project, I got a good dose of humility as everything I touched seemed to explode in my hands. I decided to share the experience in hopes that others might not ignore the rules of the workshop the way idea...

I fully understand. I have run into that and sometimes just walk out of the shop and sit in the porch swing.

Sometime, just setting those pieces on fire is good therapy!

The best part of it all, is that the Bubinga survived unscathed.

@Lewis, I'll definitely have to remember that... LOL

Welcome to my life, lol.

Dragon1,

Mine too!

It's been this way for awhile now.

It just seems that everything wants to do this.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, "Read ALL instructions before starting project" - how many times I have seen that and just forged on ahead only to slap myself silly when it didn't work right.

Another Hmmmmmmmmmmm - “DO NOT USE CA TO MOUNT THE WASTE BLOCK†- familiar

Just sayin - been there, done that

Instructions?

What instructions?

Do you mean those pieces of paper that are printed in every language but English?
