Reading a book presently that mentions 10,000 hours commitment as being the primary factor in mastery. i.e. persistence rather than absolute skill. Applied to things like musicians, concert pianists etc... i.e. a lot of practice needed in a very short period of time when young. It struck me that this figure will be far exceeded in the Austin 7 world by those who have been tinkering for 50 years! But what do you estimate your active tinkering time has been, over your lives lived so far? And at what point did you notice a change, if any, in it becoming "easier", or perhaps seeing things from a different standpoint?
