Misteaks and Boo-boos

Ayup, you ain't readin' wrong.

Spellin' is off in the title but, that is part of the point. You all know what I am saying!

There is an old 'saw' stating:
A good 'mechanic' ( honorific for an ACES craftsman ) knows when he made a mistake and knows how to fix it so no-one else will see his mistake.

I have a Tale on my humble website about a fella who took care of his mistakes another way, entitled Fine Old World Craftsmanship.

We ALL are going to make errors, mistakes, boo-boo's, eff-ups, god damns, etc.. It isn't the end of the world, the sky will not fall, you won't break out in warts.

What you WILL do is learn.

Learn to be patient.
Learn to read plans once, twice, three times before putting tool to wood.
Learn to think ahead without loosing sight of what is happening at the moment.

Time is on most of you folks side, after all most of you are enthusiastic Amateurs, in the best sense of that word.

Slow down, take a break, don't get discouraged.
