the three virtues of a great woodworker

some of you might already know about the three virtues of a great programmer

they are laziness and impatience and hubris

but i wonder if those apply also to great woodworkers or do we need to define a new set

The three virtues apply to woodworking. Be lazy, don't screw up pieces (if you can avoid it) so they have to be remade. Be impatient and sharpen your tools. They're called dull tools because they're boring to use. Hubris is simple: Make your work in such a way that you'll be proud to show it off.

not bad

i think laziness plays a part though impatience sometimes comes into play

see the previous thread on making prototypes

not sure how hubris would make a better woodworker i guess insisting on a job well done no matter what
