I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would’ve started sooner.

    Woodworking. Started during covid with building a workbench in my 2 bedroom condo. Moved into a house, and have a whole workshop with a growing number of more advanced tools to make life easier. Finally starting to cool down again to get back on it.

      Woodworking is a fun one!

      I’ve only taken a few shop classes in high school. But one time i got to refurbish a bunch of old lumber into a doghouse. It was pretty shitty, but it worked and the dog loved it.

        Pretty shitty but works is a great starting point! Usually the most fun and rewarding projects! I still like throwing together functional hacks.

        Pretty and polished with quality wood is fun too, but it’s high stakes and very very time consuming!

      It is funny, every time some programmer or general IT guy wants to switch careers, they switch to things like woodworking because it is one of the jobs that uses the least amount of computers.
