does this include getting a super nice enclosure all done and finished but then realizing that you drilled one too many holes and mislabeled something right when you're ready for final assembly?

Been there, done that, got a few gap-toothed pedals to prove it :D

How about getting drill happy and drilling that LED hole the size of your pot holes?  Or my favorite, you design your gorgeous waterslide decal labeling the knobs and realize, when it's ALL put together, that the knobs are big enough that they cover most of the label.  Makes for a sooper-noobish looking pedal, heh (actually I have that very screw up about to post to "pedal guts" soon, muhahaha).

BUT, the cake goes to.... being away from pedal building for a while, coming back, laying out your board, cutting the tracks, laying all of your components in, soldering your happy ass off, then testing... nothing... oh.. wow.. you forgot to do the links.
