Dale watched you for ten minutes and said nothing until the end, which is either the most polite thing ever or the most cowardly. Four inches is a big cut, so I hope Dale knows he owes you a beer for the wrist pain he could have saved you months ago. My old shop teacher pulled the same move on me about a bench vise height, waited until I finished a whole project before telling me I looked like a caveman hunched over it.

The bottle is only half the cost, you're paying for the story you tell after.
