Annie,
Your work is so clean and well thought that out it's a combination of inspirational, and, I have to say it, intimidating. Often times over the last year as I'm making a mess of something on Moon River, I have to keep reminding myself, "It doesn't need to look as good as Annie's."
This, of course, assumes that Compulsive Obsessive Disorder is a virtue. Personally, I wish I could move along a little faster and not get bogged down by detail, but I'm a bit lumbered with what and who I am. There's nothing like a bit of polished brass and varnish to give a spurious air of quality! And, I don't take photographs of my disasters. You just get on the way you are and get that boat in the water. I reckon you're doing a fine, workmanlike job which will produce a strong boat that you can have confidence in and be proud of.
I hear you attended 'Shemaya's junket'. The first of many I hope :-D
