Hit 500 custom shaker door panels in my shop yesterday
I've been making shaker doors for about three years now. Yesterday I realized I passed the 500 panel mark without even noticing. That number surprised me because I remember struggling on my first batch of 12 doors where the cope and stick joints kept coming out wrong. It's funny how the skills get so automatic after a while. Anyone else have a milestone that snuck up on them like that?

Did you celebrate with a cold beer?

Did you try just sitting down for a minute before reaching for a beer? I remember when I finished a big project last summer and my back was killing me too. I actually went with a cold glass of water first to rehydrate, then had a beer a little later once I could actually stand up straight. That approach worked way better for me than just diving straight into the alcohol right away.
