Spent two days trying to get a clean seal on a simple paperweight before I realized my bench was wobbling.
Tightened the leg bolts and it sealed perfectly on the next try... anyone else have a shop gremlin that took forever to find?

Check the vise before the table next time.

Ugh, that is the worst feeling! Honestly, I lost a whole weekend once because my drill press table had a tiny bit of play I couldn't see. Tbh it's always something simple that you look right past. Ngl, it makes you want to kick something when you finally find it.

Remember that time I spent a whole afternoon trying to level my welding table, only to realize the floor was sloped. Had to shim the whole thing with beer coasters, legit. @paige_robinson24 probably knows the drill, pun intended, but I feel like half the battle is just admitting your workspace is never truly flat. You look at the tool and think it's the problem, but it's the ground underneath messing with you. Makes you wonder how many other simple things we overlook because we're staring at the wrong spot. Ever just stop and check your floor before anything else?
