Confess your disasters and f**k-ups!
I'll start:
My first 3 builds had tuners up-side down.
Dropped my cordless drill on my bare foot and broke my little toe.
Snapped a neck in half whilst screwing it onto a body.
Drilled into my own hand several times.
Glued my own hands to the workbench / tools / guitar several times.
Glued a box together only to find I hadn't tightened the barrel-type jack-pug nut.
Marked out the fret-lines in a completely different scale than what I needed.
Left a tube of superglue open which dripped onto a £25 Cohiba box which melted the varnish.
Table saw 'spat' a hidden nail into my FACE.
Superglue in my hair.
Danish Oil in my hair.
Dog that was in the workshop with me barked suddenly and loudly making me jump, throwing an electric sander in the air.
Drill-bit slipped whilst drilling sound-holes, which ended up 'writing' all over a brand new Ashton VSG box.
There's more I'm sure...
Come on now, be honest!
Bonus points for pics!
Tags:
I save every screw up for the next box, which I build to accommodate the screw up.
I have a couple of nuts ready for a Lefty!!
Marshmallow inspector?
Sign me up!
OK - I'll admit to snagging a fingernail or two on the belt sander (then I can't play until I've eaten enough gummy bears to grow 'em back)
Can't seem to stop buffing metal before it burns the bejeez outta my fingers, then I can't get to the water bowl fast enough!!
Turning my drill press into an "Attack Hovercraft"
Gosh - I'm afraid to out to my shop now - it's out to get me!!!!
In one bass neck I forget ninth dot mark.So 12,15,17,19 was in wrong place.Finnished neck until I found that :/
^ Ouch! ^
