    Fantastic. That also had to be so painful for the rest of the party to watch.

    May I also have a D&D story and/or perhaps a picture of some woodworking about which you are proud? Or at which you have at least failed at hard enough to be funny?

    I love listening to people talk about their hobbies. I may not understand a third of it, but the passionate energy someone gets when they’re all excited is contagious

      Here’s 2 thing im particularly proud of, even if they’re a bit simple. My wife took up book binding during the pandemic (who didn’t pick up some new hobbies then?) And she needed a book press and sewing frame, so I made them for her

      I apologize for the janky image host, imgur didn’t want to work for me today and this was my first Google result for free image hosting.

      Ignore the trash and such scattered around on the desk in the background.

      I learned a lot making the sewing frame in particular, mostly how much I suck at using a router, and after botching it a couple times I actually ended up chiseling out that slot in the front by hand.

      I’d do some things differently if I were remaking them today, I’d probably make the press shorter, it doesn’t really need to be as tall as it is, and I had some big ideas for the sewing frame like some moveable fences to make sure the book is square that I ended up abandoning
