A fine effort, just think of the dig in as a reminder we are all capable of making the odd mistake.

Only one catch that couldnt be saved bloody well done.
For me it has been a steep learning curve and trying to understand what I've done wrong aint so easy.
Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

try not to analyse where you went wrong! I finished my apprenticeship in 95 and worked in different industries and was offered a job back on the tools! so I got Tafe books out and started at page one beads and hollows! no projects just blocks of beads and hollows turn it back to a cylinder and beads and hollows! even my wife asked if I was going to " make something" then once my eye was back in the projects followed! so if I have a dig in I put it down to lack of concentration! having said that I still get nervous when doing one off jobs with customer supplied timber!
pine is easy to replace but solid cedar etc I know will cost me if I stuff up!
