I feel seen.

Jokes aside, carpentry is an amazing complementary hobby for software related work. There's something about drawing on a piece of paper and using your hands to make it a reality that scratches a lot of itches.

Sadly, entrepreneurship doesn't leave much free time for carpentry.

I got into software because I am lazy. I don't think physical work is for me.

Getting into manual machining is another good one. If you go into it with even a hint of a "move fast and break stuff" mentality you'll find yourself mostly just breaking a lot of stuff. It's good practice for being deliberate in your actions.

Carpentry sounds amazing actually. Actually working with your hands !

I'm allergic to sawdust so went ceramics instead. Making things is awesome and it's always lots of fun with the anticipation of opening the kiln!

In that order? :)
