RE: HAVING HOBBIES, ESPECIALLY DURING THIS PERIOD OF STAYING HOME, KEEPS THE MIND OCCUPIED !

Damn! That wood work is incredible. I'm jealous of not having the space or equipment to do that type of stuff! That seems like it would be badass! Hoping someday to have a piece of land big enough to have a mill and make awesome projects like this. My best project has been a night stand with red oak. That was when I lived at my parents house though and had all my dads tools like a table saw and saw horses. Really made it easier! Living in a condo, I couldn't hope to do something like that here lol

I shared this in the OCD community. I wouldn't bother posting stuff like this in GEMS. It seems that in GEMS, there's only a circle of people who get support, if you're not in that circle you're out of luck. OCD is a much better and appreciative community of this type of post and work.

Definitely not the setting to be doing woodwork, condo, and all. Using one's own hands to construct something is always so fulfilling. Working with wood, and really taking in all of the beauty it has to offer becomes a passion.

It is really neat to take a tree in the forest, cut it down, mill it, let it air dry for a year or two, and then turn it into something extra special. You're right, that is badass @cmplxty.
Gathering all of the tools and learning the fine art of woodworking takes some time and a little money, but it is a hobby you can take to your grave.
