Or fixing them @gundoc. Was out at your old padawan Zacs work the other day and talking about shit like that
Anyone can do good work, but sometimes it is experience gained by mistakes and shitty jobs, conditions, and materials that makes you a tradesman.
We all make mistakes sometimes, as long as we learn from them it's not a complete waste
Let's not go there on some of the very well intentioned stuff I did back in the day or even newer stuff like extremely rushed (and unfinished) checkering done with very basic and home made tools, like the end of a triangle file sharpened up.
And no, I'm not putting a picture up of it as it would undo any admiration for the rest of that job lol

The forum member I was talking to about this a couple of days ago hasn't chipped in with any of has ones yet
