I rarely get hand and finger stress when I'm building.  Even though I'm at a
computer all day at work and I play the piano regularly, I don't feel any
pain from repetitive overusage.  I think I'd be in hell if I could NOT use
my hands.

However, my palms do get red and hurt the next day if I'm packing thousands

bricks.  Fortunately, this don't happen too often.

And yes, taking models apart is a pain.  Especially, if you make a mistake

musical instrument which will use real industrial wire.  I thread the wire
through Technic pins.  I got poked while tuning.  Blood gushed out of my
index finger.
