It looks like it goes quick and easy but I don't show the in between. People who seen me work will vouch for me. (Jay) how frustrated I Get and the hours I spend on it. Like the 16 hour days in your house, lol bribing me with food. After I already precut it all before. AlI the time spent cutting and prepping for gluing. What sucks is its never consistent, temperature and humidity change it every time and every time I get it down it changes on me. With the thicker stuff I definitely get frustrated and have problems myself. But that's all part of it and I agree with you the only way to learn it is to try it!
