I can hardly believe it, it's making me crazy--DH totally butchered my X spindle today and I can't figure what the hell he thought he was doing.
I usually sing his praises as Mr. Fixit but he fell off his pedestal big time on this one. I've never been able to spin this spindle so that it doesn't wobble crazily. I figured it was because the makers for some unGodly reason glued the spindle rest onto the shaft. I had DH cut it off, no problems there, but it was still spinning caddywumpus. DH pointed out that the X's weren't the exact same length, it looks like the manufacturer drilled the hole just barely off center.
So he said he would trim the ends so they were the same length. And he butchered it. The ends are dog-eared and one one of the ends he recut the dog ear wildly crooked. It looks so ugly, I'm so upset that I've been crying ever since.
I can't stand what he's done to my spindle. It may seem ridiculous to anyone but me but I'm beside myself. I trusted him to trim my spindle and he ruined it. This is sooooo not like him. He's usually ridiculously careful and meticulous when he's making or repairing things, will go out of his way to make jigs and things so that everything is straight and true. This looks so half assed. I'm right pissed.
I want to kick something.
I can't even talk to him about it right now I'm so angry.
