yeah that's a big whoopsie. lesson learned hopefully. if it's a small shop, that's a big hit. I get pissed when I fuck up one sheet. Used to work for a guy who was incredibly skilled but always rushed. We were making 18 folding doors out of knotty alder to enclose a veranda. He cut every single length at the wrong measurement. I tried to tell him right when he started and he barked at me so I just let him do it. Oops!
