Unlike tunnels or large vessels, this is not a fear that you can simply avoid: Drilling holes in a kayak can be so much fun, you'll just HAVE to overcome your problem. Try to take it in small steps to get used to it: - Start by drilling tiny holes - Offer a friend (not a good friend!) to help him on his boat. - Get real drunk before drilling - Find a second hand wreck to practice on - Drill your first holes in a place out of sight, for instance the bottom of the hull. But seriously: It's not that difficult. Try it out on an old bucket: Cut it in pieces and try to make a piece of abstract art out of it. It may (or may not) enlighten your wife when you put it on the chimney. All it will cost you is a one dollar bucket and a "thank you" to the neighbour you borrowed the burner from. Take the dare!
