I’ve enjoyed wood turning/wood working in the past. Most people here build things on computers everyday, it’s fun to build something with your hands and touch and feel it. It’s quite meditative in a way.

Cooking is a great way to relax as well. Take up a complicated recipe. It can take you hours to cook but I enjoy researching, shopping and trying to make the best version of something.

Man it really is relaxing to do something with your hands instead of sitting at the computer.

The reward you get from being able to touch what you are working on is really nice.

Cooking can be relaxing as well - unless you have kids crying that they are hungry - then it becomes quite stressful.

Do you have any specific wood working projects?
