After a 30 year I.T. industry career and 20 years volunteering as a firefighter, this seemed like a great "next thing". Mostly I'm interested in designing and making small replacement parts for things that get broken. I've had some success with that already, and will be doing more of that as summer comes around and things get busy here in Maine. I feel like I've moved up a notch from "brand new beginner" to "approaching competence and designing". So much further to go.
