Default Something about wood
wrote:

I have been fixing the MiniCup sailboats (homebuilt 12') and there is
something about working with wood that seems relaxing compared to
working with metal. I think it is because mistakes are less costly,
tolerances are more like .0625 instead of .0005" and its just "nice".
This seems true even when I will coat it with epoxy and glass.

I've built a lot of stuff.
Airplanes, bui;dings, computers (even a few ICs), furnature, etc.

Haven't built a boat yet.

But I do agree, I too like working with wood.
