Torbjorn Ahman has an excellent youtube channel if you want to see what you can do with blacksmithing, woodworking, and gardening [1].
I long for something tangible to do after writing code all day and his channel has really inspired me.
Something I love about blacksmithing is that it feels similar to software engineering in that sometimes to make something you first have to smith tools to help you smith the thing you want to make. Like creating dev tooling or making helper functions to tackle a larger problem. Tickles the same engineering part of the brain but with the constraints of the physical world that really changes the dynamics and makes it fun!
