2DHOOP......I used to be VERY involved with woodworking. Built all the furniture in my house, a couple of cedar strip canoes and a few wooden sail boats. But once I started messing with metal there was no looking back. Now all the woodworking tools are gone. Replaced with a Lathe, Milling Machine, Grinders, Sanders, Blast Cabinet, MIG, TIG and OX welding equipment and recently added plasma cutter.
Gunsmithing is the ultimate extension of working with machine tools and metal.

Not sure if it's the love of the tools that give an excuse to build stuff or the other way around. I guess maybe RVing might be the same way for folks that go places just to use a cool tool like an RV and truck. Still trying to figure it out for myself, but it sure is fun.
After I quit having to move (retired military) I've been able to buy heavier things...
