I've been working on a set of plantation shutters off and on for the last few months. I'm finally beginning the assembly and put the 4 frames together and and take them into the bedroom last night to double check everything before I do the glue-up and can't make adjustments.
This is when I discover that the 59" width is actually a badly written 50" with some sort of tail on the 0. I have some recutting to do but it shouldn't be a big ordeal. A little trimming, shorten the rails a bit and lap joints between the panels (which I wanted anyway).
I was highly annoyed with myself. LOML told me that she knew I'd figure out how to fix it, so I grabbed a pencil and started figuring...legibly instead of my usual scrawl. I suspect that the problem was exacerbated by the length of time involved so the 50" was no longer fresh in the memory and I just had my notes and plans.
