My Old Hobby Revived

[derosa]

Everyone needs a hobby of some sort to get them through life in general. I lean towards woodworking, just picked up 4 boards to build a crib for a friend, had the rest of the wood already. In general I work with power tools but when life is flying and the head is filled with too much clutter getting out the hand tools and watching the shavings make nice see through curls as they come off the hand plane is a thing of beauty that clears the mind. Scotland produced some of the nicest handplanes you could ever want along with England but unfortunately I don't own any of those.
Good luck in your writing, I'd tried doing it some when I was younger as well but I didn't enjoy what I wrote so I stopped.
