And I think it does get to you if you are taught, and learn like that - the inability to accept the "good enuff" when you know yourself its crap and you could do it better. And spend days learning, practising, until it does get "just good enough" - it doesn't matter its going to be hidden under covers, no one will ever see it - YOU will know if its good enough. And if you show it to someone you know and respect for their ability, and they say "thats pretty good" - well, it doesnt get much better than that. I just spent the best part of (probably) 40 hours machining up a optical chopper, combination of mechanical and electrical assemblies - way over engineered for the application, but it became a challenge and a learning experience. But, not good enough to post a picture in the dropbox, not with the beautiful work thats there. (I did a very basic sheet metal unit as part of my electronics training, over 30 years ago. Wish I still had the toolbox I made, got lost in moves over the years. Still have a small aluminium box with brazed (horribly) corners.....) Andrew VK3BFA. |
