Ouch!
That would hurt.
You forgot to mention the steam box.
You put an oak board in it and it comes out like rubber so it can be shapped to fit the hull of a boat.
 
Every analogy breaks down after a while
The point being is that we can not force certain things.
 God's has his ways and timing.
However, time is running out isn't it!
