Today is Black Sunday officially. I got like a week to kill till payday when I can order the gel coat but I just can't stay away from my tank. I decide I'm going to go borrow my dad's router and fancy things up a little. Bevel a few edges, put a nice border on, so on and so forth. Well I get out some scrap wood and test out half a dozen bits, decide on one and get to work. Well I get about a quarter of the way around the top edge and hit the edge of a friggin screw. I'm leaning pretty good on the router to keep it tight to the edge and the bloody bit breaks and puts a great big gouge in my project. H E double hockeysticks.

Well long story short there's a little extra filler on one side now. No I didn't take a picture, I'm sure you're already laughing hard enough. Oh well.
