The week I ruined 40 feet of crown molding on a Friday afternoon

Back in 2018 I was working a kitchen remodel in Portland and somehow misread my angle finder on three consecutive corners. By the time I caught the mistake, I had already cut and coped about 12 joints that were all off by a degree and a half. Has anyone else had one of those days where every cut just seems cursed from the start?

Dude I read that one degree off can mess up a whole run. Brutal.

Yeah because nothing says fun like watching a pile of perfectly good plastic turn into a wavy disaster.

And then you get to explain to your buddies why your "art piece" looks more like a melted crayon sculpture. I swear, 3D printing is just 90% calibration and 10% actually making something cool. But hey, at least we learn more from the failures than the successes, right?
