Sometimes you need to take a break. Walk away and enjoy something else. There are times when after you take a break and refresh your brain, you come back to your project and everything seems to work out well. I have felt the burn out but then I tell myself it is a hobby not a job. Most folks don't realize what a daunting task a total restoration is. They see your end product and pay you compliments. The real satisfaction for me is all the hours of hard work, perseverance, determination, problem solving and state of mind it takes to complete the job. It is a skill set that not everyone posesses. You have the ability to press on where others have given up. Take pride in that. In time you will be rewarded for all of your efforts and that is the ultimate goal. Just remember to have fun along the way.
