[Elecraft] Re who would spend 30 hours building a k2?

[Doug Person]

I have built 4 K2s. I built 3 just for the pure pleasure of 
participating in the engineering art that the K2 represents. The key to 
success is to not watch the clock; to not consider time at all when 
performing the assembly steps. As in many things in life, you should 
focus solely on the current step and current component. Do not think of 
the next step or steps later on, or even finishing. Place each component 
with all the care you can. One mistake resulting from rushing will cause 
you frustration and disappointment. The greatest sense of satisfaction 
you can experience when your are finished is to know that you did 
everything to highest degree of perfection you are capable of.
