Moving a hole

Journeymen cover their mistakes, too, you just never hear about them.

Exactly what I attempted to say. A real, and vital part of being a journeyman.

Somewhere on this site I have read, paraphrasing- being a journeyman machinist is not ever screwing up. Being a machinist is covering your mistakes in such a way that no one knows but you. Many jobs in many of the trades share this principle. Well Done.

Thank you for the kind words.

That may have been me, I've had a lot of practice at covering up screw ups . https://www.hobby-machinist.com/thr...in-your-shop-today.14637/page-143#post-328561

I was told by my first boss that it's not a mistake unless you can't fix it. Nice write up Jim. You clearly explained what went wrong and what you did to fix it.
