Am I crazy...I was working in the shop making a little clock/temp gauge thingy. Wanted to use walnut base with a piece of curly maple at an angle with the gauges in it..nothing special, just a quick little project. But I just couldn't do a quick job..I went through half a dozen pieces of scrape wood, which is what I am using for this project, and had to sit them up and look at them for ten or fifteen minutes each to study the grain pattern..etc...took me two hours to come up with the perfect piece to use on this QUICK project...lol..is it just me, or can you just grab some scrape wood and slap it together...I just can't seem to make myself do that...I HAVE to look at it from every angle and just make it soooo complicated, the grain has to be perfect, I have to use the perfect joints...etc...it's a sickness.. especially when you consider I don't think anybody notices the time you take to do this kind of nuttiness ...lol .. just wondering if anyone else has this affliction
