Twelve hours into an end-grain board, one slipped cut later, I understand why people pay real money for juice groove jigs. I always figured the jig was just for people too lazy to freehand a groove. Turns out it’s for people like me who freehand one straight through the edge they were supposed to keep. The board survived. My ego is still in the shop somewhere. Lesson filed away for next time: measure twice, then measure again, then maybe just buy the jig. #woodworking #endgrain #woodworkingfail #cuttingboard #handmadewood woodshop diywoodworking beginnerwoodworker wip shopfails handtools maker thetestcut
