Well said Nick!

I am only half way through my current strip-built boat and my wife is very worried I am going to build yet another. So much to learn and so many boats to build.

I also build furniture and have yet to build a "perfect" piece. Often times, like yourself, I have a piece that has many blemishes that I know are there yet when I deliver the piece, the customer raves and their guests rave. Plus, with kayaks and furniture, the pristine appearance the piece has is soon gone after the first or second time you use it.
