LOL, well, yeah, DIY woodwork is good, relaxed and you can take your time. Sadly in my job, tight deadlines, unreliable suppliers, installations in central London, and all sorts of other things kill the fun sometimes. It does give you an enormous amount of satifaction when you can stand back from a job when it's done and see the end result. To think it came in as a few planks of wood, and sheets of material, and leaves the workshop as a completed reception desk etc is sometimes odd!A M R wrote:^^^ yeh theres something about woodwork that makes you feel happy and relaxed lol. smells nice too!
It's often strange to think what you'd be doing if you weren't doing the job you are now, if you ever came to a cross road in life and went one way instead of taking another opportunity, maybe posting those would be interesting too. Like Sven360 said, a decision he's glad he made now with a certain job! I think I'd have probably still beeen doing manual work of some sort. I did think about becoming a Roof Thatcher, as locally there are a lot of really old cottages and buildings with thatched roofs and it's something very different. I do enjoy working on cars, but it'd have to be kept as a hobby, as I know too many people who do it for a living and have no interest in it as a hobby for their own cars now. I suppose it's a bit like me and woodwork, I work on wood and play with cars in my free time, while others might work on cars and play with woodwork at the weekends!
