Fulltime and woodworking
Hello all, My latest question is about woodworking while you travel. My wife and I are still in our home, but hope to retire in October and then hit the road. We plan to travel for a year and then ...

I brought some wood-craft projects with me from time to time. But I also found it very inconvenient to do anything with it. First, space is at a premium. Where do you set your project up at? Picnic table? Where do you put your outside food items and outside eating then? Folding table? well, there's another item to have to haul, store, set-up, take down, and deal with when not in actual use. And if it rains, or the humidity is very high, or it's extremely hot and you have to move the project inside, there goes space in your camper. (I know, been there, done that).
Now I'm not a full timer. I still work a 45 hour week job and (once again) in the middle of remodeling another section of our home (gigantic family room now), so when I go camping .... I camp! That means rest and relaxation. No home hobbies, it's all about camping and I find it much nicer to keep it that way.
The biggest problem you'll encounter is space and weather. Wood is fickle, subject to humidity and temperatures. And neither can be controlled when camping.
Just my 2 cents.
