@rookie54 saidWhen I make a New Year's resolution I do so as "long term" resolutions, not giving them a year to be done. One year probably 30 years ago I resolved to make, from scratch, a cedar strip canoe...almost done. Maybe another two years or so. 🤔

@great-big-stees saidPerhaps you should choose a less complicated thing next time... 🙂

@great-big-stees saidImpressive! Now there is commitment at the highest level. Do you find it relaxing?

I know many people who work with wood or carve say they find it very relaxing and can go off in their on little world.

@torunn saidI think I may worry that it will be more "submarine" than canoe. 😲
Ok, as long as it's fulfilling... 🙂

@very-rusty saidI saw an article in a canoe magazine saying that you (apparently not me) could build it, from scratch, in 72 hours. I must have read it as 72 years. Kidding aside, I was pretty much 80% done in a year then "life" to a hold of me and it was placed on the back burner.

@ponderable saidI made no promises and just as well, there are always unforseen situations which need improvisation.

@ponderable saidThey often take a while to get going. Stick with it. In the end the wait is worth it.
