thanks for sharing your project. how was your process different compared to pre-claude design? would you use it again?

this is not true in my experience. prefab kits of all sizes (from sheds to houses to barns, like were once possible to order from a Sears catalog) have worse tolerances than a carpenter working on site. you can measure 3 times and cut perfectly, and still end up with a few mm gap (or sometimes worse) after tiny errors accumulate as you assemble piece after piece. it _requires_ measuring as you go and cutting on site to handle this small amount of drift and to really produce something of high quality. it doesn't come in a box

Darktable has really improved over the last couple years. It used to have some pretty confusing workflows and lots of overlapping modules, but somehow it's been getting cleaned up and polished into something of an intuitive app. It is still different but not so overwhelmed with features that you can't figure it out
