I've watched probably 1000 hours of woodworking videos. I even bought a whole shop of tools.

When I get an urge to make something, I go into the garage, and freeze. How do I put two pieces of wood together again?

Do you think if you had read the 1000 hours of wood working books that you'd be any better off?

There clearly comes a point that even in depth studying of a topic has limited ability to translate to real world skill. Very few things can translate well from study go skill.
