Recently my husband was watching Iron Man and I just happened to walk by at this particular scene. Man, did it hit home. I'm sure anyone who's ever started a project they thought was going to be easy, or at least looked easy on someone else's sewing machine, computer, whathaveyou and ran into a road block or two has felt this way, as Obadiah Stane so poignantly shouts in this clip from the movie.
The more I watch it, the funnier it gets. It's as if Marvel Studios peeked inside my brain and personified my thoughts. The guy in the white coat would be my "Let's put it in perspective, it's just bias tape" voice, and Mr. Stane would be my "I am not leaving this room until it's perfect and sewn on" voice. Sometimes these thoughts don't just stay in my head though, which illicit worrisome looks from my husband and kids. In any case, I will neither confirm nor deny that I'm cursing Tony Stark's name during any given project, especially when making said bias tape. Does anyone else have issues with making the stuff? The tutorials all over the internet make it look so easy...I guess everyone's got their forté, and apparently making bias tape isn't mine, but I digress...
Did you ever have that one project that you thought was going to be easy and ended up giving you so much trouble you wanted to pull your face off from the stress? Does the idea of making something you had trouble with in the past instantly make you want to cry or yell out in frustration? Tell me about it!

I need to make a MDF speaker box for my 8 subs but the idea of all the trial and error and fitting in the car makes me cringe.
Ugh....don't even get me started on MDF! When I was working on our box I was on forum after forum of guys building speaker boxes trying to figure out how to fix every problem I encountered. I hate the stuff!
