A Plastic Bag Dispenser – or -At What Point is it a Fail.

I think there is always an error in everything. It just depends on the tolerances in those errors that dictates if that ‘thing’ is a failure or not.

I would say the Plastic Bag Dispenser project was a win! But boy, did I fail at filming the joinery.  The finish of the project turned out pretty good as well, though a little over done.

Check it out here BUT please don’t give up on it and watch the second part as well.

I did take photos of this project. Mostly of the finishing process. I will work to get that into an entry here soon. For now I want to get this project live.

Why not re-build the project?

Now, I could have redone the project BUT I opted to go with what I had for a lot of reasons. I’ll just list the main two here.

The first reason, I want this ‘blog’/’channel’ to be real.  This is what really happened. I would love to sugar coat it but I want to be honest. I screw up a lot in a lot of things it’s just a matter of how badly. This one was pretty bad in my book.  Which leads to my second main reason.

I have always learned way faster from acknowledging what I messed up and doing everything I can to resolve it.  I could redo this project and I would learn from it. BUT I will not learn as much as I will from forcing it front and center.   From now on, this focus thing will be at the front of my mind.

If I left it there I would have left everyone hanging as to what was really going on in the joinery.  So, I went out the next day and rushed a simple project through that included most of the ‘fancy’ joinery. I know, “don’t rush”… whatever.

I didn’t mess too much with the audio on this video as I wanted to get it done quickly.  I hope you can see past the issues and enjoy the projects.  I also hope you are slightly inspired to keep fighting a project forward!

 

Thanks for watching and I’ll do better next time!
