It's not a new hobby, but a prior profession turned hobby. I've gotten back into woodworking / home renovation. I find it to be a very good way to leave the laptop turned off on the weekend.
I was offered a job at a startup assembling equipment and working on helping to develop the core technology. I took that job and left a self employed home remodeling gig. This was in 2008, I stayed on and supported the IT needs, which is my main job today. There are many mirrors between tech and woodworking. Challenge and Mastery, they really can compliment each other very well. I'm grateful to have been able to experience both sides of life. I can't really say if one's better than the other, they're just different. I will tell you that I don't miss roofing in the winter at all.👍

Absolutely! I dream of getting into woodworking more seriously some day.
