Ouch, been there. And yeah, always keep a spare set of soft jaws around for exactly this kinda Friday.

Man, 9 hours on one quarter panel and then getting hit with the rake line would've sent me straight to the break room for a snack. Funny thing, I learned the low angle light trick from a guy who details boats, of all places, and now I walk around the shop holding a flashlight like I'm hunting ghosts. Cheap guide coat all day, the can doesn't know what car it's on.

The whole bird thing is spot on, but I'll add one step that saved me a bunch. After I carve it, I throw the bones and skin back in the pot with a splash of apple cider vinegar, maybe a tablespoon, and let it sit 30 minutes before turning on the heat. Sounds weird but it pulls more out of the bones and my stock comes out with actual body to it instead of tasting like hot water. Pork shoulder is my cheap one here in Dayton, $1.29 a pound at the Mexican market on Troy Pike, and it feeds us three nights easy.
