I actually do rather enjoy making kilts. I also rather enjoy when someone wishes me to make something for them, especially in return for money.
Doing things for others is a big part of who I am. I have lost count how many brake jobs, tune ups, and oil changes I have done for people with only a 6 pack of Smirnoff Triple Black being my "payment." And never have I had an unhappy "customer."

If there's one thing I have learned in my 12 years in the Navy, it's to ALWAYS overestimate time and to always deliver quality. That way, when a job I say will take 3 hours actually takes three hours, I'm fine. When the job takes 1 hour... I'm a stud!
