Ever have a Dumbass Moment?

[Dedpedal]

Welp, I was a bit bored with trying to plan out a plate rack for my wife so I wandered into the shop to make something.
Turns out I had a blank glued up for a bandsaw box from months ago that I had forgotten about. After going through the steps it started to take shape.
when I had everything sanded I went to slide the drawer in. That’s when the fun began…… I can laugh now. My wife calls it the idiot box.

hahahahaha. That's a good one.

Add 4 little ball feet to the round bottom and tell everyone it was intentionally designed that way!

[LCHIEN]

yeah, I thought of that too.
Or you make the mirror image and glue them together.
Or an inverted T pedestal.

for some reason I've become good at these kind of face-saving moves.

I am sorry to say, but I literally laughed out loud...

To answer the title of your thread in the whole reason I walked into this thread in the 1st place. Every moment of every day yes

One secret is, never tell anyone what you are going to make. If it started out a dining table but ended up a toothpick, then its still OK. You haven't let anyone down.

At least once a day! Sometimes it's so bad, I have to start over.

[dbhost]

I can almost hear Steve Urkel saying "I meant to do that!"

[dbhost]

Idea, maybe a bad one, but what about drilling for some dowels and making legs on it so it is sort of, well, mid century modern?

[Dedpedal]

Good idea!
