I am useless. Had enough.
Bones:
What is wrong with me?
I hold down a good well paid job, have healthy well behaved kids, I am reasonably well read and consider myself of adequate intelligence..... SO WHY CAN'T I FREAKEN MAKE A FREAKEN CONTROL PANEL BOX?
Sorry for shouting.
About 3 years ago I made this (pic). It's not perfect but it's still standing and it was a big job. OK, I had the help of a mate but I did a LOT. So why is it when some 45 degree angles and different wood is used my moron qualities not only rise to the surface but overtake the rest of my brain.
I have pissed away now $200 on a circular saw, $150 for a decent jigsaw and $130 worth of wood and all I have is landfill.
I suck. I suck big hairy donkeys balls. >:(
DrewKaree:
I think it has something to do with your webbed hands and feet.
If you want, I'll pay the shipping and you can send those worthless saws to me, and I'll find them a good home with lots of land where they can run and frolic and whatnot.
At least you have some pieces you can take a sledgehammer to when you finally get it right. That prospect alone outta cheer you right up! ;D
markrvp:
You're full of S#!T.
DarkKobold:
Didn't your hands get f-'ed up in an accident BB? Isn't that why you are called Broken Bones? How is that going? I'd be surprised if you could still work with wood, after what happened to you, IIRC.
Tailgunner:
By 45 degree cuts I'm guessing you mean rotating the circular saw on it's base and cutting miters with it. That's quite difficult to do when you've got a lot of experience, let alone for your second project. What specifically is causing your problem? Post some pics of what went wrong, everyone who's gotten good at carpentry did so by screwing up so we've all been there.
