My goal is to learn from my mistakes...if true, I would be an absolute genius...
I have made so many mistakes I had to invent new ones nobody had thought of yet. My "favorite" is forgetting to add a tenon length to the rough cut length of something that requires a tenon. I rely on transferring measurements off the piece underway because I read a rule incorrectly too many times. Dovetailing a drawer has so many ways of going astray I lost count. Mistaking a pin for a tail is usually fatal but once I even recreated the missing piece and stuck in in plane to fill up the space, counting on the rest to hold the drawer together.
It is a fact, the skill of a woodworker is measured by how successful they are at recovering from mistakes.
