One of those nights. Had to walk away from the shop in disgust.

Blew out several blanks drilling including one half of a cholla cactus blank.

Completely screwed up the other half of the cholla cactus after turning (chippy and brass showing through)

Had 3 or 4 blanks grab the tube while gluing. Should have switched to epoxy after the first but needed to get a few done tonight to show a repeat customer tomorrow...didn't happen.

Was constantly dropping tools and glue bottles.

Finally had to just shut everything off mid stream and walk away for the night. I have these every so often and should have seen the signs earlier than I did.

Oh well.

I'll bet it took a while for you to live that one down!

I hate it when I blow out blanks - last week I blew out a nice piece of BOW :(

Actually my wife is the one doing all the gluing and we were both having a bad night. So when she glues herself to the bench, it's not my fault :biggrin:
 
You are going to FEEL SOOOO GOOOOD when you save all these projects tomorrow (or whenever) , one at a time, the same way we eat an elephant, one bite at a time.
 
YES!!!!! Thank you at times I feel like I am the only one that has times like that. For me it is kind of funny I do that stuff when I am just making some for fun and not under pressure for an order.
