I have to tell a story on myself...

Working on putting a battery tray in a 356. One side of the vertical part of the box was weak and needed to be cut out. So, no problem, I'll make a piece. Well...................



the pic may not be clear enough, but if you look closely, I made it backwards! Yep, scribed the line and proceeded to fold the part to the outside instead of inward.

Too bad the other side didn't need the same repair.

Milt, yes I laugh at myself all the time. Sometimes I look at something, stand on my head, then turn left/right and who knows what will actually be made. Thanks for the post. Jim

Don't feel bad, I do it with crown molding every once in a while.... in a hurry, cut the wrong side or put it in the saw upside down. Usually the last cut, and I'm running low on materials....

I've been a bodyman for a while now and I do this kind of thing on a semi-regular basis. funny, when I'm writing a sheet on a car I still have to turn around to face the same direction as the car to make sure I get the right side, or left as the case may be.
