Strip: how long does this take?... *Pic*

and a few other questions.

1. i finished the keel strips today. this seems to be taking a very long time. more than i expected. while adding strips i noticed they can take up to 1 hour each. is that normal?

2. i am using a crapload of staples. i almost have gone through a 1000 box and havent finished the hull yet. some have been removed and/or shot into my fingers, but it still seems excessive.

3. i have started on my second bottle of glue. granted he first ws only half full, but how many does it take?

4. i planed the tip of my finger off today, and remembered why i stopped woodworking 10 years ago. does this happen often? the stapel holes are one thing, but i play guitar and it kinda hurts.
