Overcoming Adversity
When working on a project, some form of adversity is inevitable, and how you get over that is important. Luke certainly had a fair share of disappointments during his project, and learning to pick himself up was something he had to adapt to quickly. What he calls his “countertop fail” is the highlight of his disappointments. What was supposed to be a lacquer surface with broken glass pieces spread underneath it, turned out to be a watery liquid and completely ran over everything.

Turn Mistakes Into Lessons
Instead of throwing in the towel when facing adversity, Luke used the mistake to his advantage. When things didn’t work out the way he had planned, he would learn to adapt and make changes accordingly. When he was faced with a liqueur countertop failure, it hardened and created a fixed bond onto the wall. Faced with this difficulty, thinking on his feet he added a standard countertop, fitting it with hinges to make a lift-top storage space below. What a genius!
