We have to fight not only boredom but the fear of failure. Luckily, I find in woodworking projects I am carried through by my undeniable curiousity to see what it looks like at the next step and also my expectation of satisfaction that inevitably comes from overcoming obstacles and setbacks. I've learned to see mistakes as "new opportunities." We must strive to delight ourselves with our materials, the tools, the process, and our growing skills, not to mention the results.
