So I am a newbie in general in the sense of actually doing vs reading. Of course I am a total expert and know everything because I've read lots of builders logs and taken one weekend class...
So here I am with a completed vans toolbox kit staring at every rookie mistake in the book. Let's see, dimpled one side the wrong way, back riveting slipped off the plate ruining a couple rivets, under dimpled a couple, etc.
Very very humbling. Some if it I am really happy with. But it makes me question myself on proceeding even though I saw things improve as I went on.
What was your experience like with the practice projects? Do the masters of the craft look back at theirs with disbelief on how much they have improved? Need a little confidence boost..
Major lesson for me was slow down.. Of course what I wanted to do was go faster to complete the project
