I don’t like to make it to hard for anyone who is inclined to bag a person for having a go.
It’s surprising how many people suffer from this trait, I believe that we all feel inadequate at times and many people (not everyone all the time but many, most of the time) when they see a person that they know, have a crack at something a bit off centre they go the low hanging fruit and bag the thing/person.

Leaving an obvious mistake may seem dumb but I’ll explain my reasons.
If I know what they are going to pick on I can have my retort polished, there’s less chance it will upset me and I find out the caliber of my friends and acquaintances.

Part of the joy of getting crafty is making new talking points and the really really big highlight is involving the kids.
If they can’t help physically I always like to ask their opinions and (especially my girl) has a great eye and can offer some great suggestions.

Not to mention that they bring me things they find and say, “You can make xxxxxxx out of this dad”?”.

Anyway, enough rabbiting on by me for a bit.
Thanks for looking and any & all feed back is appreciated. zip

Good idea with the mistake on purpose.

Yea everyone's a critic these days.

I love doing stuff with the kids ( grown up now 16 an 19 ) I'm a sole parent so have a special bond. And I'm injured so they help me alot we laid all the flooring together turned out nice not perfect but ya only see the mistakes if ya know.
Got a heap of milled tallow wood on Friday (3 trees) going to build a new internal staircase after 10mths an 20 odd quotes can't get anyone to build them so going to do it our selves. And good enough to for the bath rooms to do benchtops
Not looking forward to the sanding but look forward to making the stairs have done once before but 20yrs ago.
