Unfortunately I started out in a similar moment where I gently "leaned into" metal working about 15 years ago right as I purchase my first house. Once I was equipped and my capabilities enabled me to build whatever, I "brushed up against" woodworking and so it began for a second time. I doubt there will be a day when I won't want to build something. My hope is I'm able for many years to come.
My wife and I enjoy the transformations my skills have enabled. My family benefits, I find enjoyment...what could be better?
