    John,
    No biggy mate we all have days like this. The good thing is that those pieces wont be easy to see anyway when its surrounded with the superstructure.

      Not to worry John, a cup of tea will fix things. When it's built no one will know........unless you tell them.

          A break seems like a good plan.

              Take two aspirins and the day off John. I always practise this procedure of visualising the parts with the ones in the instruction sheet and do a dry test run. In that way I don't need to match the numbers and refer to the instruction sheet working from inside out.

              Cheers,

                Very little that a break and a cup of tea can't sort out. As Scottie says we all have days when things don't go as planned. Hope the vision gets back to normal soon.

                  Youll get it sorted, ive wicked some TET into joins before to soften things up so parts can be removed.

                    Morning John,
                    Shame about the mishap, hopefully it won’t cause too much bother for the rest of the build!

                    Think we all done things like this, so like the chaps say, don’t be too hard on yourself mate!

                      Thanks all, I did carry on yesterday and after a break managed to get a fait bit more done. Dentists to day first thing after lunch and then hopefully back to the bench.

                      Has a night off from the tablet which is my normal bed time habit and went straight to sleep , 12 yes 12 hrs solid sleep , later feeling much better sight wise Jim .

                      Will post some photos later.

                      John.

                          453. Who hasn't dropped a bo****k at some time or other putting bits of plastic together. Those that say "Me" have never even opened the box.....

                          Take a step back and have a brew.

                          Also, I'm sorry to read of your eye problem. A spell away from the bench will help, I'm sure.

                          Now it's a tad milder out there, perhaps get into the garden at Race Towers for a day or two.

                          Stay safe.

                            Yep, everyone does it. I’ve checked, dry fitted, checked again, then glued the part on backwards (or whatever) more times than I can remember….onwards and upwards John.
