Interesting article in the New York Times about amateur boat building;

A quote from the article that might get your interest;
A recent task involved fairing the hull, which meant long days of deadly tedious filling and sanding. One of my boatbuilding friends perfectly describes this process as “staring into the dark, gaping, bottomless maw of insanity.”
Much of the article could also be applied to many home built woodworking projects. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
