Slow is Fast – Daily Brief (Feb. 4, 2020)

Overview

Thoughts: I started the day with the realization that I made an error on one the parts for my jig.  I know myself well enough now to realize I shouldn’t work in the shop today.  Instead, I’m going to work in the office and possibly the studio.

Review

Shop:

  • What Happened? Continued work on the jig for framing.
  • What Went Right? I made good progress.  What I did complete was well done.
  • What Went Wrong? One of the parts did not come out correctly
  • Why? I was rushing to get the jig done and free-handed a couple of cuts that I should have setup a jig for.
  • Lessons Learned: Take the time to do things right.  I knew the cuts were important but I rushed to complete.  Now, I’m going to spend more time getting back to where I was because I need to make the part again.
