to me this is more like you learned to be a woodworker because you liked actually creating things with your hand tools, and now all day long is just using a CNC router is copy-pasting CNC patterns from cncoverflow and then glueing the machined wooden pieces together.

it's not woodworking anymore, it's glueing and google-fu to find the best patterns on cncoverflow, together with maybe some shim-building here and there and making your own custom stain
