Mostly comes from working too fast and not thinking enough.
If I feel a hint of confusion before I cut, I don't.
Too often I'm not confused, just wrong.

If I were Frogman, I'd slap it together but only drive east or west.

That could work. Another option is have a nice label made for it.

Only drive one way, thats good.
I am afraid to try the cold cure epoxy because it'll be warm very soon
and then the stuf'll cure in seconds.
You'll know me when you see me going down the road.

All I have to do to get a new wardrobe is to start some project
involving epoxy. No matter how careful I am, soon all of my pants
have epoxy on them. It's like, "I'll just touch up that tiny area
there, I wont' spill anything", WRONG. Right now, I do not any pants
other than a suit that arent epoxy stained.
It gets on the carport concrete too, makes my wife crazy. Muriatic
acid doesnt touch it.

Get a pair of overalls to keep in the shop/garage.
Good ones. Thick so oil can't easily penetrate.
Make sure they are loose and don't bind at the shoulders,
otherwise you won't wear them.
Make sure they have big legs too so you don't have to take your shoes
off to get in, otherwise you won't use them.
For most people anything less than XL is too small.
Roll up the legs if you have to.
Don't worry about how you look in them. Once in the habit you'll
never screw up your pants and shirts again.

Between acid at work and epoxy at home, my clothes dont stand a
chance. "Worry about how I look?" what an unusual concept.

A magazine, I think it might have been Popular Mechanics, had a contest
to see what you could make out of 1 4x8 sheet of plywood. One of the
designs was for a picnic table which a girlfriend decided to make. It
was a clever design. You could take it apart in a minute, and store it
in the trunk of a car. The design might have been for one sheet, but I
would have needed 1/2 dozen sheets to make all those cuts right. The
girlfriend swore she only needed 1 sheet. I didn't believe her. ;-)


You don't have a laser guided template cutter saw in your garage?

Building my truck mounted camper, I made both sides the same. They

use epoxy.

You just need to build two campers now.

There should be some kind of law for cutters besides "measure twice,
cut once."
I've done the same thing Frogwatch did.
More than once.
There oughta be a law.

Similar. I cut a paper pattern to cut new sheetgoods for a bathroom.
Promptly marked and cut the expensive flooring with the wrong side of the
pattern.
