A bit of levity here. Best tip of all! Always keep a pot of nice hot coffee going for those late night sessions. You know. Where you just can't seem to get it right, That blankety_blank piece doesn't' want to fit and you refuse to go to bed, until it is right. You just glued (with CA) the keel to the work bench (I hate that one!)

No, no, none of these can compete with the pitch of irrability attained by my two year old granddaughter. As I manouvere that particurally akward bit of rigging in position she "Wants Up". The first, the second and the third refusal only achieve to increase the volume of her demand, and in direct proportion my likelyhood of a heart attack increases.

To be fair its in her genes, her Mum and her Grannie can all be eqaully demanding.

I know what you mean. My 5yr old son sneaks into the room and turns off the power strip and the lights when I'm right in the middle of something and tells me to go to bed. There's no arguing with him...

Kirsty has n't yet developed that range of ability. She has on one occasion told me to "Go to the shed". You can work out who the Boss is in this household and why I spent most of my working life at sea.
