on making eight perfectly identical cuts.



Pity they were all 100mm too short.



Sometimes I wonder how I manage the laces on my shoes. Perhaps I should switch to velcro before that skill goes too.

Many years ago I bored out a part, came out too big, so I rebored it to make it smaller....

Just the wooddorking gods letting you know your project was improperly dimensioned. Pay attention, and scale your plans down accordingly.

I'll tell my daughter to have a smaller baby then :)

I often read the wrong side of the inch mark, almost exclusively when the measure is running right to left instead of the normally marked left to right. You get used to reading more than a specific inch reading as being to the right side of the inch marking.

Let her know which day to have it on too.

Sometimes I'm so stupid I even amaze myself

And tell her what sex it should be, and what to name it while you are at it.

In for a penny, in for a pound..... :-)

She'll probably like that idea, if possible..lol

Accurately illustrates the difference between precision and accuracy...

Been wearing boat shoes for years for just that reason.

"Laces", what's that?

How COULD you? I have NEVER, EVER done anything like that.
