Big night

Argh my back's a killin me i been trying to make shelves. Cos the foundry dudes have made such a disaster out of my work space (everything sticky wth uncured silicone rubber) i need to use the floor over the other studio, and my back ain't up to this kind of sudden working on the floor abuse for a period of 5 hrs without warning, so now i'm gonna pay..

The shelves are morphing into a strange modular design (or lack of) which could turn out quite Ok. In a way its heaps better cos it means it can be carried by just me alone in sections, so ya boo sucks to asking for help. Have had every possible variation of problem tonight, from the tape measure tricking me (2 mm extra at the start!) to having the wrong kind of screws (too long & too big a thread which split the wood edges) to uneven floor (so everything's f'ed) to shiteridden drill that could not screw in 1 screw properly, to bent drillbit, to buggered phillips head screw bit, to wrong jigsaw blade angle (incredibly difficult to cut at all) to cutting thru a milkcrate (that was OK: just stupid), to self-unwinding bloody wood clamps & even a tool vibrating into the jigsaw such that the entire kit & kaboodle went off angle & buggered the entire cut... twice.
But hey - a bad workperson blames her tools right.
Those freaking tools totally suck!!!

Got the ebay camera for $6.50, hopefully it won't have the same issue that dad's has.
