In my case, it’s more like “why woodworkers like software engineering?”
Grandfather was a farmer, father a polytechnic teacher, … i have learned to work with wood, metal, cows, roofs, ducks, cars, … and computers.
The last one paid more in our era. I still do the others when they make sense.
I find woodworking quiet and beautiful. Metalworking, not so much :)

- neverartful 4y agoI think that metalworking can also be quiet and beautiful too. Of course, many power tools are loud and that's true for both woodworking power tools and metalworking power tools. I do metalworking (welding and blacksmithing) as a hobby and I find the grinders to be the most offensive. I also do a tiny bit of woodworking too and I find my circular saws, miter saw, and router to also be offensive for my tastes. I always wear ear muffs (for hearing protection) when using these tools and that makes using them much less objectionable. There are also many times that I will use hand tools such as files or rasps where another person might likely use a power tool. For the welding that I do, the loud parts are cutting metal and grinding. For the blacksmithing that I do, the only loud part is the hammering on the anvil.
