I looked at it this way
- stripper can end up much nicer looking with the curves, vs flat panels (IMHO)
- working with much smaller pieces at a time is easier to me, easier to handle too - one goof with S&G and I've gone and messed up a big chunk of the whole thing
- yes, it may take longer, but I know that I'll be more proud of the results
- I have a bit of my father in me re woodworking - measure 3 times, cut twice, STILL CROOKED?!? I'm doing a stripper and it's great so far! omg....
- although I'm not yet a proud owner of this particular T, I will be soon, so don't worry, you're not alone! :)
