Prototype for a commission. Well today has been a learning curve. You know when you start a project, but then you have to go and get a tool that you didn’t know you needed. Then your drill bits blunt so you spend ages in the shed looking for one and then have to buy one anyway? And you’re teaching yourself something new? This isn’t what the commission will say by the way.
