Jun 6, 2010. 2:03 AM REPLY So, how many times did it take before rule 7 stuck? I ask this because from your comment it seem like you know and also, rules are made after someone has done what the rule is against.
Goodhart says:
Normally it only takes ONE running a drill bit through one's appendage to "drive the message home", you might say :-)
Jun 6, 2010. 2:29 PM REPLY Well, when I was in the Navy, there was a saying: "Seguridad mat Confianza" ["Security (or safety) kills confidence"]. The meaning is that when a man get too much confidente, he can make mistakes because he thinks he's an expert, and lose the healthy fear. When I was making the Globule, I hurt my thumb with the drill because of this. Well, lesson learned!!
Pe-ads says:
I assume you mean "Confidence kills safety", not the other way round :-) Still, good maxim. Sounds like something you should frame in your workshop :D

Jun 3, 2010. 9:03 AM REPLY Thanks Sleepy!!!!! Well, everyone has his favorites. Two beautiful ladies asked me for Bobby Da Crab. Now, I have to make two more. The ideas was to make rare planters for everyone likes. I love Planter Man for its Mega Man Mini-Boss similarity. Electronics geeks love the Globules, and girls love bulging eyes crabs. I'm making more rare planters, so stay tunned!!! :-)
