    One Of Those Days

    I had a day off today. Plan was to go over to my dad's and play on the lathe and/or finally get the planer going. I was feeling poorly so decided neither of those was a good idea, especially the lathe. I started feeling better so went downstairs and started making the frame for the door to cover the breaker panel. Did the glueup, then decided to break out the Kreg pocket screw jig. I was following the directions but things didn't look quite right. Instead of trusting instincts I decided the directions were correct. After screwing up the holes in the first corner I went back and reread stuff, then realized the stop on the jig assumes you are registering it on the face of 3/4" thick stock, not the edge of a piece that is 2 1/2" wide.... The bondo is drying right now.
