Wanted to vent to you guys because I knew u would understand. I made a wonderful letter opener with a Celtic design in the handle. It was special because I cut a log down to size with my chainsaw. Squared it with a table saw then planed to thickness. It literally went from log to finished piece. I got it cut and finished and not thinking I sat it on top of a small board on my lathe table. Well my elbow eventually hits the board, they both topple and the opener breaks. I was so mad at myself I immediately took it to the fire pit and burned it with some scraps LOL..

Oh Boy...some more designer firewood!
We have all been there and done that so don't feel too 'dumb'!
Just remember next time..PUT IT where it can't get hurt!

LOL. Thanks GB. Trust me it was a lesson learned!

Yup, It's happened to me too. Last year making stuff for the Christmas season I knocked over four completed projects and broke them all! I keep one of them on the "shelf of shame" to remind myself not to do it again.

I have a wall of shame for my turnings. Guess I should start one for my scrolling..

We all do it, and as long as all that is broken is a project, it's not that big a loss. My tag line is "measure twice, cut once, count fingers" and as long as I still have all my limbs I will consider any other accidents within reason.
