Hand Tool Fail
Making a Cabinet Scraper Like Stanley 81 Shopmade fail
"Great things come from great aspirations, but also do disasters." said someone at some point in our history. I had the grand idea that I wanted to just build something and see how easy it was to quickly whip up a tool. Once the took was made I would give it away to some viewer. However, execution was far from reality.
I (unwisely) picked a project I had not done before and nor had not looked at any plans. I thought I could just wing it (first mistake). I also picked a day I had to do a bunch of other things and then started to rush and not think ahead (second mistake).
At first, the problems were aesthetic and functional, but as the day went along the problems became bigger and as I entered the home stretch I tripped and made a mistake that made the tool useless (bummer).
So rather than having a great tool to show the world, I have a video explaining how we all make mistakes, and how we can grow and learn from those mistakes.
That being said, enjoy the show.
