I've yet to mess one up at the sink.

Screwed up a few out in the shop. Stuff happens. You cuss and go on, hopefully learning something in the process. The ones I wrecked weren't even good for wind chime blades when I got done with 'em.

If that was me making it a shorty, I'd send it back to you anyway. It'd be a delightfully usable reminder to take care of bid'ness.
