Wow, calling a notebook a database is a real stretch.

You mentioned rushing the drying step warped your journal, so what part did you speed up? I've found that even a little hurry can mess up the paper. How are you slowing down now?

Worry we're making too big a deal out of this sometimes. I mean, yeah a messy drawing is annoying, but shouldn't a good fabricator be able to figure it out? They see this stuff all day. Maybe it's just me, but getting a project delayed over some extra lines feels like a stretch. It sounds more like your shop was looking for someone to blame. It's a basic skill for sure, but kinda wild it caused that much trouble.
