Hit my 500th tiny cabinet door hinge today and had a weird realization

I've been making miniature furniture for about 8 months now. Today I finished hinge number 500 on a little dresser I'm working on. That number surprised me because when I started I thought I'd quit after like 20 of them. What got me was all those tiny mistakes along the way that taught me how to hold the tweezers just right. Has anyone else hit a weird milestone that made them feel like they actually got good at something?

Ha yeah I'm pretty sure my first 100 hinges look like someone let a toddler loose with a soldering iron and some prayer. But the last few actually close so that feels like winning.

That's a really cool way to see your own progress.
