I started out building 'stuff' out of necessity and found I loved it. I gravitated to woodworking with an emphasis on Craftsman style furniture - I love the simple, bold lines. Once I ditched the machines and went 'unplugged' I discovered my true love - real woodworking using traditional methods. Some of the tools I use are over 100 years old and still going strong; building furniture that will last 100 - 150 years at least.
