Some of the hobbies Some of the basic (power)tools, drill, driver, saws, clamps. It's increadible how cheaply you can start a woodworking, metalworking fabrication projects. Trick is to dedicate some time and have a big enough garage/basement/room. For woodworking dust is the largest limiting factor in having fun for hobby shop. For metal, its the fumes, smell. Getting into machining, with lathe/mill requires a bit more space/dedication but is suprisingly clean(er), so people have done it even in their apartments. Also for folks in the apartment, a 3D printer (full frame based ones that could be upgraded over time) and/or laser engraver-cutter (one of the latest diode 20-30w range) assuming you can ventilate the fumes, would get you and your kids endless fun. Other than the above, for me personally, getting a good bicycle (a cyclo-cross-road type) with good all weather gear allowed me to ride anytime, anywhere and really use free time to the max (a honest recommendation, don't bother with performanse spec and weight too much, get a wider tire bike that can go anywhere with a widest range of gears, it's so much more rewarding). No other activity you can burn calories for 3-5 hours straight, and it helps away from a screen. |
