[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1604062, member: 24284"] Stock making, or working with a pre-inlet requires concentration. Every time you remove a sliver or wood with a chisel, gouge or file you can screw-up. Stock making is not hard to learn, but it is difficult for many to put into practice. I've never had to "work my hands to the bone", because the work is not physically hard, but mentally challenging. I have to stay right after it, to complete the work in a timely manner so I can move on to the next project. As a side note, I find the laminates to be the worst to work with. Give me a blank of English Walnut over any other, 'cause it can cut so cleanly with a sharp chisel or gouge. [/QUOTE]
