I think building houses seems like a lot of fun—if it were more like programming, where I can kind of figure it out as I go and experiment freely.

That's why I like woodworking, making furniture and stuff! A lot of the same skills and tools as building houses (which I also liked the few times I've done it) except you can totally just figure it out on the way! Also like programming, there's no shortage of great YouTube videos of people building cool stuff and teaching you how.

Sigh. Serious woodworking is just a bit impractical in my city apartment at the moment. But I have other hobbies. 🙂

You could make spoons! Just be careful because the knives are SUPER sharp.

I tried to get into woodworking, but I kept running into other woodworkers with missing fingers. With my capacity for being a klutz, I decided to move on over to 3D printing. Now I just burn myself on the nozzle occasionally. :)
