Default Ahhh, I screwed up

Building my truck mounted camper, I made both sides the same. They
should have been mirror images. Now I have to make another before I
can put the sides on. Other than that, the project is going much
slower than expected mostly due to very cold weather where I could not
use epoxy.

Did you check out the cold cure epoxy from Raka.com (in Fla) that I
reccomended? The prethickened stuff is pretty good too...

There should be some kind of law for cutters besides "measure twice,
cut once."
I've done the same thing Frogwatch did.
More than once.
There oughta be a law.

Similar. I cut a paper pattern to cut new sheetgoods for a bathroom.
Promptly marked and cut the expensive flooring with the wrong side of the
pattern.

Me too, although not as serious as a whole camper side.

But if I try to play weekend warrior in the carpentry department especially
doing trimwork molding, I get lost fast.

If I were Frogman, I'd slap it together but only drive east or west.

Mostly comes from working too fast and not thinking enough.
If I feel a hint of confusion before I cut, I don't.
Too often I'm not confused, just wrong.

That could work. Another option is have a nice label made for it.
