It turns out the John Mayer of all people wrote a (imho) really beautiful song about a man building a homemade submarine in his basement, called "Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967". If you feel like taking a listen, it might stir up some memories; I know that I usually connect with it more after a weekend of getting lost in a passion project.

Similarly, Resistor recorded a good progressive rock album called To The Stars, about a boy who builds a rocket ship in his backyard.
