What are some skills that can be turned into hobbies that would be good for a Leftist to know? (hexbear.net)

Like the title! I want to cultivate some helpful skills but do so gradually, as a hobbyist. Tempted to get into lockpicking, haha.

Thanks! Yeah the bandsaw is an old secondhand one I got and did some refurb on. I've been slowly trying to add more color to the shop, as can be seen in the painted air ducts and the bandsaw. And no, I haven't tried bowmaking yet. Sounds fun!

If you're considering bowmaking, do yourself a favour and watch Dan Santana's YouTube channel. It's not only extremely informative, it's also shot tastefully and beautifully

Just took a peak. An hour long video on making a longbow? Yes please!
