Default New slogan

Tonight while working on my second pass of the T-405 tank angle attach bracket I thought to myself "It doesn't have to be perfect, but it does need to be right". I've wasted alot of time on a stupid bracket that I hope will never be tested. But if it is, I believe it will work as Van intended it to.

Default I'll second that..

I had problems with z brackets on both tanks. Trashed 4 brackets before I got them right. I feel your pain. Enjoy the build.

The Cult of Done Manifesto is worth including here too:

The Cult of Done Manifesto

1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
3. There is no editing stage.
4. Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it.
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
6. The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
7. Once you're done you can throw it away.
8. Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.
9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
11. Destruction is a variant of done.
12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
13. Done is the engine of more.
