A wasted afternoon.

[toglhot]

I made this this afternoon, total waste of time because this senile old fool made the slot too small. On the plus side, at least I know it's easily done and should look Ok in chunky, polished aluminium. Tomorrow I'll pay attention to what I'm doing and make one with the right size slot.

Well, I've never done anything like that. No, Sir! Not me.

lately...

 

[toglhot]

No, nor have I, until today. In 70 years that's the first fup I've ever made.

Not to sound too dumb but....If slot is too small why cant it be made bigger?

 

[RustiePyles]

Measure once, cut twice I always say... Wait, no thats not right.

Could mean the overall thickness isn't sufficient or make the hole off center.

Perhaps whatever fits in there is too thick.

Looks like a billet chain adjuster. I can think of a few ways it could safely and reasonably be widened.

I cut it twice, and it's still too short............

You know what they say.............A man who has never made a mistake, has never done anything.

I always measure once and cut several times. Makes life interesting and gives you something to do - curse!
