I’ve always liked woodworking and a lot of home repair stuff, having grown up doing a lot of that kind of work, and starting my career working in construction. And there’s a ton of great content on these topics on YouTube, etc. these days. But I always cringe when looking any deeper at the creators behind the content because they’re overwhelmingly from a narrow cultural slice and very frequently casually toss off dismissal or even hate towards people I love & care about.
@anildash one of my passions is dorking out on recovered/reclaimed wood, a la old roughcut from demo or pallets. There's something very satisfying about taking garbage and making it into an object that is pleasing to interact with. For the holiday I gifted myself a hand plane since I can use it without hurting the batteries or burning dinosaurs for electricity.
