MAZE Sink are damaged pieces I tried to actually wash from the cutting mat. This resulted in ruining a cutting mat. But gave a great photo.

Sometimes Ernie has commented that the cutter has caused the block in me. On some level I can’t disagree. It was such a painful process I have barely recovered. I would love to blame everything on that cutter.

But if I blamed every painful process for my failures I would have an alibi. I have no alibi. My work is what it is. It is in spite of me or my excuses.

It is a problem though. The cutter caused so many failures on such a simple level that I can’t deny it. But it isn’t the cause of all my problems. It is the source for why I didn’t achieve a better solution.

That is what I need right now. Better solutions. Not whining or placing blame. This is what I need to focus on. Rather than focus on my failure at using new technology.
