Why not start out with the Guillemot? If you build 3 boats of increasing complexity, you can still use the same set of forms. Give the first one away to anyone. Give the second to a good friend, keep the 3rd for yourself. Rather than wasting your precious time building forms 3 times, build one set of forms and spend your fleeting free time building boats!

It may seem hectic to you, but there are a few of us who are cooped up in an office who would trade with you in the blink of an eye! It may seem a bit tedious at times, but if you enjoy your job, you're fortunate! I like my job, but it's not a job that I can "live" in, as you can.
