      OK, so John takes dead cars and turns them into super-cars, I take wood and make houses/furniture/absolutely anything out of it, and DD takes suckers and makes money out of them (tres tory); but we're extremes, and this place is full of analytical brains that should be able to turn their associated hands to anything, so what is it that you actually, physically make, when not sitting at a computer?

          A 1:72 scale trio of V-Bombers. All painted in classic anti-flash white. Placed on a low, black coffee table that I assembled myself. :-D

                I have a very particular guitar style. It's called "cr@p". I should have bought a violin.

                What you have is actually a violin. You should try with a real guitare.

                      We have a toddler at home, so I have to take anything and turn it into... well anything! ;-) Now when she's passed the 2.5 years mark and have a bit more patience we'll pick up on the Arduino and Android powered robot again soon, which never passed the breadboard stage and so far only been used to create 'art'. I used to program PLCs, industry automation is awesome. Still programming but it affects the real world directly. Damn I miss those days! Well, one couldn't waste time online back then of course..... ;-)

                        Tried the violin once but the cat thought there was a fight coming. Went back to the guitar and made slightly less painful noises.

                        I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

                                I assume that gunk is turning into beer? ;-) I stopped drinking alcohol some 15 years ago, but back then some mates tried to brew their own beer too. The results they achieved encouraged the rest of us to stick to moon-shine! This was up in the barren north of Sweden, so almost legal! I wish you better luck than those guys!

                                  You assume right ... and what a great beer it turned into ! Last year I tried to brew a clone of Carnegie Porter 3,5% and it turned out well. Now it is all gone. I tend to like low alcohol beers. I'm getting really nice beers with little effort. Thanks ! Moon-shine is evil. I don't touch it... and also, never drunk alcohol :wtf: j/k

                                      I will suggest a ukulele or mandolin. Both have only four strings so much easier than a guitar. The ukulele is brilliant for getting going with chords and singing. A mandolin has the same tuning as a violin, so you can get reasonably good before attempting the other.

                                          I don't have a lot of artistic creativity, so I haven't really "created" much. I did build some model cars, but only to put the zillions of parts together. Never made them. I've always found that I was better at destroying disassembling things, not creating them.
