    If you have done any boat building or repair work those skills will come in very handy for what you are about to embark on.
    Especially the sanding.

    Welcome to the site.
    One word of warning, take it easy when sanding that quilted veneer. They are extremely thin and you can sand right through it if you are not careful.
    Other than that, enjoy the build!
