Something about wood

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"

Some people build welded boats, and they often cut the plates with a
torch. To a tolerance of perhaps .0625 or even greater. If the plates
don't quite meet you just use more rod.
