I don't think anyone built their first stripper and wondered "what am I getting into to?

As soon as you start putting on your first few strips, it all starts falling in place and actually starts getting exciting.
Someone may respond from this site to give you personal guidance or see if there's any boat building schools etc in your area.
Actually setting up the forms is probably the part that most people dislike the most and you're done with that with a few tweaks.

Take a break and go back at it at your own pace with a positive attitude.
