It requires a genuine fight to produce one well designed object of relatively permanent value
I paid my way through college as a carpenter and a woodworker. So I've built the house I live in and most of the furniture that's in it, and I do a lot of woodworking still.
Let's just say I can never be cast again after Ron Swanson. Then I have a life of theater and woodworking and my wife to look forward to, and that doesn't make me anything but very happy.
I actually love woodworking. I'm just getting into it. And I love playing guitar, I'm a big movie aficionado, and I like hiking.
I really bridled when Parks And Rec became popular and woodworking publications wanted me to do stuff with them.
But with woodworking, it's really sort of gratifying to be able to have an actual piece to touch, and then step back and be able to share it.
I have been taking some classes in woodworking. It's really helpful just looking at a problem, and having a very tangible way in constructing it.
I don't make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and made furniture.
