Lol. Well done!

My last mistake was designing a piece of wood to go where there was
already another bit, and no neither could be removed or omitted. Quite
tame.

When you've cut out a particularly intricate piece of lining paper
to go around an obstruction, apply paste to the correct side.

Write 'PASTE' in big letters on the appropriate side :-)
Likewise mark the scrap side when you're marking a cut in sheet material
so you don't forget which side of the line you're supposed to be cutting
to.
