Perfection vs Achievable...

I’m going to return to the current bane of my life - the replacement workbenches I wrote about on Tuesday…

Progress has been slow. Ways to do things that I thought would be perfect have turned out to be not. Ideas that I’ve obsessed over for weeks have proved unworkable. And the reason ?
