What to do with a Screw-up

I was messing with the Duplicator and didn't tighten the guide arm enough.....so when i was doin a pikie all of a sudden on one of the passes it digs to deep......so i finished the pass and threw it in the junk pile.....then a few days later it caught me eye and i said it kinda looks like a spook tp me......So i dug it out, messed with it, and this is what I got.

Now to figure out how to screw it up like this another 1/2 dozen times...still need to take her for a swim.

TDF,

nice rebound.... I prefer to call it the recycle bin.... seems most "oopsies" can be made into something more productive than fire wood!

I see TWO great screw ups,,,,, I have learned that you never throw them away ,, just set them aside and wait for that holy %#$% idea that turns the mistake into something awesome. Of course I am still waiting on lots of ideas,,,,
