Mostly with myself. Partly with my material. I was making a pen out of some polyester resin, and was at the final operation - putting the cap threads on the body. I got a little aggressive, and *snap* *crack* *curse*. I imploded the entire front part of the body.
I've been doing that step *before* drilling the body so that there's a solid bunch of material there, but I got out of order today when I got interrupted and if before I knew it, I had drilled the body instead of putting threads on it.
I'll never make that mistake again.
