    I feel you. When I was trying to rout the bridge for my $0 guitar:

    - 1st attempt, template slipped, had to start over, and repair the template.
    - 2nd attempt, hand went through spindle, out of action for weeks.
    - 3rd attempt, the ring holding the bearing in place slipped. Luckily, it only gouged a bit inside the lines and I could reshape that edge with a file.

    For me, the most frustrating setbacks are the ones that don't teach you anything. Except maybe patience, and who has time for that?

    Yeah, patience is a lesson I'm destined to learn over and over. All good, would be silly to expect my first entirely from scratch build to be smooth sailing and at least I'm working out things to do differently next time.
    Build 1 - Shoegazer MK1 JMA-1
    Build 2 - The Relliecaster TL-1
    Build 3 - The Black Cherry SG AG-1
    Build 4 - The Sonicaster TL-1ish
    Build 5 - The Steampunker Bass YB-4
    Build 6 - The Howling Gowing ST-1
