It’s not a mistake unless you can’t fix it - and I have found that paint is
wonderful invention.  Last year I built a toy chest for third grandchild -
lovely Georgia.  I made a mini - blanket chest with dovetailed corners, a till,
and two drawers at the bottom, all done with hand tools except the surface
planing.  I finished the corners, then hand-cut the dados for the till, only to
find that I had dadoed the outside of the front rather than the inside of the
front.  The dovetails, of course, did not fit when I flipped the front over, so
they had to be patched up, but my choice between stain/varnish and paint was
made FOR me.
