Ive been getting into woodworking in my garage the last few months and man its therapeutic. Just me, some wood, and loud music. Takes my mind off work stress completely. Been making cutting boards and simple stuff but planning to do something bigger soon. What do you guys do to decompress?
Five months in here and I'm barely keeping my head above water, so major props to you for carving out that space for yourself. That's the kind of sanity check every dad needs.
That's the dream setup right there. Just you, some wood, and nobody asking where their shoes are. Sounds like the perfect escape.
Woodworking sounds amazing. I'd kill for some alone time in a garage right now, honestly. The loud music part hits different when you need to decompress.
Woodworking is the best man. I've been doing the same thing in my garage and it's literally the only time my brain shuts off from dad mode. There's something about working with your hands that just clears your head. What kind of projects are you working on?
This is me but with the garage workshop setup. Just having that one space that's mine where I can tinker around keeps me from losing it. Woodworking sounds awesome though, that takes some real patience.

I need to get into something like this. Right now my sanity comes from early morning runs before the kids wake up but I'd love to have a garage hobby too. Do you sell any of your stuff or just make it for the family?
