And whenever we think we are doing REALLY well, we see some museum exhibit, the Candy Hill book, something like that, and say "Oh....." and head back to the shop to try and do better.
If we all spent our time here finding and pointing out all the faults with each others projects this wouldn't be a very fun place to hang out.

Almost every one of my engines have some mistake or boo boo in them. I leave them there as a lesson that is reinforced every time I see them. All I can do is learn from them and try not to repeat them.
I try to follow the advice I've given to my son and daughter. Try to do your best. There will always be someone who does better or worse so learn from both. I happiest when I learn something new or accomplished a task that I have never done before. I'm always amazed at the talents of others and appreciate their skills, many examples here on MEM.
They think it's a wonderful job. Or they're lying, but I do have a couple of friends/relatives that will tell me like they see it.
It IS about the journey, don't give up. If it doesn't work, find out why.
