When we enter into a new project, our guard should be up. First time stuff, no matter how simple, will kick you where it hurts...usually. So I am building a simple bass reflex box for a friend, and glue up has begun(in my house, when the kids would hear "I'm glueing up!" that meant GO AWAY). SO , it helps to use this forum to lick my wounds sometimes. Of course, everything was fine, and I even put all the panels in the right order. Without going into detail, one of the cabinets fell off the workbench. It is about a 3' drop. I know I could look on the bright side. Only one joint failed, at least as far as I can tell. I am telling you guys this because I normally have a belief of: "If it CAN fall it WILL fall" Today was no exception. Sure, I get over it, and yes it could have fallen off the back of the truck during delivery, but it still stings. Thanks for listening.

Thanks....i needed that. Of course, I have repaired the damage, and the beat goes on.

Ok, I'll wrap this up with a photo of the partially finished speaker. The customer will do the rest his way. Not that these are my crowning achievement, but for something that gave me such grief(including a broken circle jig!), I bow, and give admission.
