Among the men who ply the various trades, I have observed that the ones who work with boats - designers, builders, and users - are usually happier than most others, and of these, the very happiest in my opinion are boat-builders who use edged tools and work in wood. Such work makes demands on, and seems therefore to satisfy, the whole man - hand, eye, ear, brain, and heart.

Admittedly, I'm prejudiced. Not everyone is a dedicated hard-core boat-building nut. But I think all of us, from the whittled-chip-in-the -puddle days on, have some streak in our nature that is drawn to the making and using of boats. Therefore any development of that ingredient can't help but add to the development of the whole person."
Harold Payson "Go Build Your Own Boat" Van Nostrand Reinhold 1983
