The three virtues apply to woodworking. Be lazy, don't screw up pieces (if
you can avoid it) so they have to be remade. Be impatient and sharpen your
tools. They're called dull tools because they're boring to use. Hubris is
simple: Make your work in such a way that you'll be proud to show it off.

I prefer:
A labourer uses his hands.
A craftsman uses his hands and his head.
An artist uses his hands, head and heart.

not bad
i think laziness plays a part though
impatience sometimes comes into play
see the previous thread on making prototypes
not sure how hubris would make a better woodworker
i guess insisting on a job well done no matter what
