oops

[Loskoppie]

I will see if I can do a fix without been seen.  Some bit broke off one of Steve's pattern and now I am going to see if I can fix it without it been to obvious.  Will try to post but I must go back to the step one to find out what l do wrong with trying to post pic's.

Oops is the word that you never want to hear your dentist say.  What you have described has happened to all of us a time or three.  Most times only you and the pattern maker would know what part broke free.

Thank you for your kind words.  I feel much better.  Thank you

Oops's are the reason God made wood glue.
I have probably had to glue a piece, splinter or filler on about half of my projects. I can tell you who will notice the mistake....ME and no one else.

There are some thicker superglues (CA glue) out there that are perfect for these type repairs. They are clear, take very little to hold, and set in about 10 seconds, so you can hold it in place easily. I use Gorilla SuperGlue (not regular Gorilla glue - that's a good glue but not for these tiny repairs). I'd wait until the rest of the piece is cut, then go back to make the repair (don;t repair then try to keep cutting unless you let it sit an hour or so).

Check the pattern to see if a floater snuck in there. Steve is a terrific pattern maker but doesn't always cut a pattern before publishing it. If you find that the part that fell out was a floater, post a note to Steve so he can correct it.

Thanks for the useful tips will try them I always learn something new with this hobby.  I did not find a floater, it was Steve's Woodpecker.  I had a vibration and it broke before I could stop.

Hate those vibrations, makes my teeth fall out
