"If you don't have faith in your own skills...then who the hell ya gonna trust?"

Ya gotta talk to the wood, tell her what ya want...the wood, she can't think for itself.

Remember ... wood rots.

Every problem in the build is really an unresolved method in your approach.

Look closely at your build and see the reflection of self.

To judge the quality of a build is inversely proportional to the pickers abilities.

The only thing that interferes with yer building be yer thoughts.

Don't think...just do it!

Skill in building is obtained from yer mistakes....go make some.

Remember, in the end, we is all just glorified sawdust makers.

What ya gonna use when the trees are all gone?

Hide glue works...now whats holding you together?

Success in building is the sum of yer resolved failures.

Life is like the string...too tight and the string, she brakes...
too loose and she rattles...so what are you tuned too?

What was yer thought when the chisel slipped?

Heat and pressure bends wood. What bends you out shape?

We can regrow the tree...not our fingers.

Remember ~ Bondo works magic.

Better builds don't mean the picker is any better...just richer.

Every so often its good to ponder who build and strung you up.

If it gets the pig clean ~use it.

I may rattle a bit. But who don't get a little feet buzz now and then.

Thanks for the post! I enjoyed that a lot. And there was some good wisdom there.

I hope this chisel doesn't slip.

His majesty, our modern Robin Hood and beloved national leader, said that I don't need skill, that he would redistribute it for me. You OWE me your skill.

Bondo is only until said skill has been properly redistributed. I will make this wonderful material a part of my special build, in order to win your illustrious prize!

I wish there was a Like button on this forum. This is good.

UMMMMM Look down !
