That’s the difference between a hobby and a profession. When it’s a hobby, time isn’t important. I’m in no rush to finish my knife, it’s fun to invent/reinvent things as I discover ways to do them. It’s fun to try things I’ve never done before. Frustration at failure might have been avoided by study but if I got it right first time by following convention there wouldn’t be nearly as much learning, fun or exploration.
(For me) The learning is everything.
