I've just started getting into making my own furniture last year. I've found it is a really code release from coding/designing/staring at devices all day long. Building a website or app is very rewarding, but there is a different feeling when you build something with your hands that you actually use. It's nice to have an actually hobby. I've made 2 tables and a desk. It started out of necessity: I have a really weird obtuse-angled wall that no desk would fit inside. Wrote a post about it if anyone wants to see. http://bit.ly/1k6XiU7 http://bit.ly/1k6XiU7 Haven't moved onto chairs/couches etc because the whole upholstery thing kind of scares me. Also - you can easily build most furniture for a few hundred dollars, but you have to look for it! I have a construction dumpster near my house right now with a ton of old pallets they are throwing out, that right there is enough to make some really cool stuff. Also re-purposing is really "in" right now so in my opinion even better :)
