Don't let the frustration get to ya. Everyone learning toneboards goes through that, so you aren't alone. You will probably make 30 or so toneboards before it all starts to make sense. It's just part of the process for what it takes. Stay determined. You will get through it, and you will feel proud of your accomplishments when you get done.
If you get stuck on something, post pictures of your toneboard here, and describe what the problem is. There's enough experience around that can see where the issue is, and give some guidance on what to try next.
