Hey guys how’s it going, i’ve gotten a couples dms recently asking about the current timeline and where Im at on assembly so decided it would just be easier to give a big update to answer everyone’s questions at once!
It’s gonna be a long one lol, and kinda unorganized but I tried my best to organize it as best I could lol. If you have any questions about the timeline or when to expect your WSTR this should answer most of it and give you a better idea of what’s happening rn
I think i’ve been holding myself to too high of a standard. There’s one thing my boss told me when I started working at my day job that’s stuck with me and i’ve been trying to put it to heart: “There’s a difference between perfection and production” I’ve been working on that distinction. A lot of times in my pursuit of perfection i’ll end up spending 30 minutes on one part to realize at the end it looks indistinguishable from a part I didn’t do all that work on at arms length. I know yall aren’t going to be going over every centimeter of your WSTR with a microscope looking for any tiny blemish, at least I hope not lol, but i’m OCD and if I notice something i’ll just drop everything and focus on it and won’t realize how much time passes, then i’ll look down and realize it’s been 45m and instead of assembling 2 WSTRs in that time I assembled half of one. So I wanted to apologize, cause this delay hasn’t been solely because of the magnet and other hiccups, it’s also been my very poor time management. That’s why i’m now setting a timer on my watch that goes off every 15 minutes to help me put things in perspective. Cause the one good thing about being able to do my hobby as a job is time absolutely flies, 12 hours feels like 30m, but that also can be really detrimental when you realize 12 hours passed and you didn’t complete what you should’ve in that time.
That all being said, last night while I was doing some assembly one of my coworkers suggested I should do assembly in batches. And I already somewhat did this, like I would glue a batch of barrels together before doing full assembly, mostly cause they use a different kind of glue. But I think thought i’d give it a try, and holy shit he was so right! I think a big factor that contributed to me being slow to assemble with my perfectionism is that I’m doing a bunch of different assembly steps back to back. Like first I attach the under barrel to the barrel, then the receiver to the barrel, then magnets in receiver, etc. And switching up the flow like that kinds fucks up my head I realized. It makes me more prone to mistakes, cause it might be 30m before I glue the receiver magnets in again, so i’m out of that mindset by then. But when I focus on just 1 step of assembly then I can perfect it and have the muscle memory of it and I get quicker and make less mistakes.
I know this is all just like a massive autistic info dump lol, but i’ve been feeling really embarrassed, for lack of a better word, for how behind I got with the hiccups and how much I underestimated the difficulty of mass producing these vs just making a couple for myself and my friends lol. So I wanted to give yall a really in depth look at where everything stands right now, and why communication has been somewhat lacking. (Mostly cause if i’m locked into assembly, and then stop to start answering dms and emails then it kinda breaks my concentration so i’ve been trying to just lock in on assembly so the next update I have is good news and not another apology for the delay lol)
1/2
