As a result, I scrapped the original 1911 slide and started over with a new one.
T.Lex, The good thing about the slide I had to "scrap" is I found a frame with measurements that will allow it to work. I will get to use that slide after all. One of the hardest lessons to accept it the growing scrap parts bin...
I'll take your guys' word for it.
I guess its like writing something. A whole lot of good sentences and paragraphs don't make it into the final draft. In writing, the term is "killing your darlings." The idea is that you can spend a great deal of time writing a really great portion of the work, but in the end... it just doesn't work.
But, it isn't like you can collect them in a "dumpster document." (Although, now that I write that, maybe that's not a bad idea.)
