Many years ago I surprised my wife with a couple of corner stands for Valentine's day. I sat down, drew up the plans and this is the results. I made each individually, sat one off to one side and made the other. You don't see the mistake right away and I didn't until I put them in corners. My wife didn't see it at all until I mentioned it. I still laugh when I see this

Ok, here is a good one for you guys. I was working on one of the 4x4 posts for our balcony, on the workbench, in doing so the post leaked some sap out, and the sap got on the workbench. Then, my daughter puts her finished project up on the work bench, picking up some of the sap. Now there is some sap on her finished project. The finish is General Finish Gel Coat. She is presenting her wood project to a friend tomorrow, how do we remove the sap, without removing the finish? Thanks!

Out in the shop tonight cutting the back of the clock board for the movement and room for the pendulum to swing. I first cut out for the movement and I thought while I have the router depth set go ahead and route out for the pendulum...Duh I was watching as the bit cut through the other side. Hey I says to myself, I think the pendulum depth should have been reset for 5/8 of an inch and not 7/8 of an inch where the movement will go... Well after seeing the one goof I thought why not cut one on the other side to match so what ever I do to solve my problem it might look like I planed it.. It seem like these senior moments comes more often than they use to. I was really tired for I worked on my water falls all day long and got the lake water pump for the yard and ponds all good to go..Usually when winter is coming on I screw around and don't winterize all that crap that might freeze but this time I only had one sprinkler freeze and bust. I build my own sprinkler bases out of pvc pipe and I left one leaning up against a tree and it trapped water in the closed ends and busted to caps off. The lake pump works great if 6 sprinklers are going at the same time. Any less and the pump goes on and off way too often. All six going and the pump runs all the time... Cheaper and less wear and tear on the submersible pump. The bad part it only freezes three or four nights each winter.
