Woodworking/Carpentry. As much as I like writing code and working in Product, it'd be nice to work on something tangible. It's so much easier to give someone a physical product that (for the most part) is 'done' when it's handed over, and there's also the knowledge base that remains mostly intact and isn't continuously iterated like it does in programming.

This is one of the things I’m doing. I’ve always been useless with my hands but it’s a whole lot of fun gradually learning even the most basic of things. I have a house to renovate but no time limit and gradually learning one little skill makes other harder ones become that bit less intimidating.
