Neat! I am jealous of people who make physical stuff with their hands, seems so satisfying. I grow some plants, which brings a feeling of joy compared to buying from the store, even though the latter is much easier.
If anyone is interested in chairmaking, I can recommend the book "The Use of Weapons", by Iain M. Banks. (/s)
- silversmith 1y agoI have the good fortune of working in an office, with easy access to never-ending physical labour options courtesy of relatives living in the countryside. Every now and then the issues of IT projects make me say "screw it all, I'm going to be a lumberjack". And then I go work the chainsaw for a weekend, and come back thankful for the office chair in a climate controlled room. Working with your hands is great meditation in small doses, but brutal when you need to do it enough to make a living.
