Done plenty of hard graft when I was younger but I’m early 50’s now. Sometimes I plod and do things as precisely as possible but today I was up against it but after 10 hrs I made a mistake and broke a board I had spent 25 min shaping/cutting so called it a day.
In my real job I don’t fuck about and rarely make the wrong decision but that’s where the experience and knowledge counts, same for trades I guess.
I follow a cabinet/furniture maker on Instagram who’s 18 but the work he turns out suggests years at it?!

You may not be used to physical labour, plus you’re probably working at home-owner pace rather than builder pace. There’s a reason they finish early, it’s tough doing 8-10 hour days of manual labour five+ days a week.
