Default Something about wood

Hand tools and wood. That's where the peace is. It's quiet, contemplative.
Just your measuring skills, sharp tool edges, and your hands.

I have been fixing the MiniCup sailboats (homebuilt 12') and there is
something about working with wood that seems relaxing compared to
working with metal. I think it is because mistakes are less costly,
tolerances are more like .0625 instead of .0005" and its just "nice".
This seems true even when I will coat it with epoxy and glass.
