Or, as a friend of mine says, "Sh*t, I have way too much blood in my alcohol stream!"

I am not so think as you drunk I am

Guys, guys, cold beers are not the answer. Cold beers are the question - the answer is "yes"!

Yo, Paul

after reading the litany of all the things you don't have,

I put it to you that what you really don't have is the right attitude for this type of hobby.

May I suggest something more rewarding like biking or kayaking with the wife.

Or maybe he DOES have the right attitude for this hobby, and it is just that everything pilled up on him that day. A day where nothing seemed to go right, and he just got frustrated. I think everyone here has had incredibly frustrating days with guitar building. Voicing frustration doesn't mean that we don't have the right attitude for this hobby. It simply means that we are learning things the hard way and it is testing us. I have been in his place many times and I think most the time all you need is for someone to say "yep been there, you'll be fine and you'll figure it out."

Hey Paul my friend. We've all been there, you'll make it through.

Heck, the two guitars I'm working on right now BOTH are onto their 4th top because I've screwed up somehow on the previous 3......... Now that's been frustrating pretty much to the point where I HATE these guitars. They are going to be nice once I'm finished but......DANG!
