I have a book by a famous French chef (name eludes me at the moment but he is long gone) who quoted a stuff up on a luxury liner, the fried chicken was overcooked, sacre bleu, it is now presented for lunch as 'Chicken American'.

Things happen for a reason,for every action there's a reaction so if there's a stuff up it might become a new design or new project..never wasted ...rather a learning course one can only hope

I say why limit yourself to only one stuff-up per project? I try to have two or three good ones by the end of the build, usually topping it off by stuffing up the finish somehow.
That's why most of my projects are up against a wall and not out in the middle of the room.
Cheers,
Bob

a stuff up is an opportunity for innovation - there are no mistakes, only opportunities for innovation!

Some are finishable and become lessons in what not to do.
Others sit on the shelf in the shed until I can either figure out how to fix it or if they are really nice, they disappear quietly when I'm not looking

I have a wood heater and there is always a fine line between fire wood and furniture with character.
Although all of my furniture is made from timber that has been saved from being firewood in the first place .
