I find a constant struggle and question arising in my woodworking as a hobby.
Does one at some stage go down one path say hand tools only or say spinny work or scroll saw or carving or cabinet work versus furniture, solid verses veneer and on and on.
I observe the spinny guys who have achieved amazing work results and realize all to well that to get to their level takes investment in time spent practicing as well as $$$
Same goes for most of the other facets of our wwing hobby.
personally i like variety but i am seeing how this comes at a price. Not even thinking here of $$ Just simply in terms of space, level of achievement, time available, amount of accomplishment and distractions.
I would love to hear your views and whether you have found it gets better when you retire versus when you had a day job and kids to wrangle. ..
I truly respect and admire those that can pull of the specialist focus.
Even sticking to just woodworking is a mission for me.
