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?
