I suspect that the symmetry that is far more frequently encountered in woodworking (reflection symmetry–most pieces have “right” and “left” parts that are mirror images) leads to substantially more headaches than rotational symmetry solves.

It takes a lot of courage to announce and even celebrate your mishaps in public and print. Well played… -mj
