Drew a sheet metal part with a fold 7" in the wrong direction. 5' of 304 stainless up in smoke. Yay, also fuck this week. Hard.

flip it over?

Measure twice, fold once. Nothing productive to add, but recycling is good.

Different punch sequence of holes on the two ends, different sequence of folds, different overall lengths even without the error. One with two down folds, the other with two. Just sucks.

It was shortened from an existing part which *worked*. All pieces were shortened the same amount and the same way. The trick? That piece, whenever I drew the original version, I drew upside-down. The shortening to one end of .5 and the other end by 7.5 was exactly backwards, which left the middle bend 7" off. Should I have caught this? No doubt, but I was working from something that I knew was *right*, so I got complacent.
