- abakker 5y agoThis is very real. I have a 2000 lb milling machine taken part right now and it just depresses me when I go into my shop and I don’t work on it.
- jld 5y agoI actually had the idea of "hobby as a service". Create a catalog of a few dozen hobbies to start, and build boxes that are a foothold to the hobby. Could be: - a cheap ukulele, tuner, with a link to some youtube lessons - a drawing pad and box of pens with some tips on figure drawing - a whittling knife and some wooden spoon blanks. You receive the box and give it a try. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't but you can always put the stuff back in the box and return the items and receive another hobby to try without the dread of having a drawer full of nice spoon carving knives that you thought you'd love but are now just a symbol of your abandoned dreams.

- fragmede 5y agoThe thing is, it doesn't even have to be cheap if the gear is durable. The problem is many hobbies are sized to the user (eg bicycles, wetsuits, snowboards). It would be lovely to drop a few k into one hobby and be able to transfer it back out for the next if it turns out that hobby isn't a good fit.
