For many of us, when we reach a certain age we are allowed to go in one of three directions. These three flavors of personality are known as trains, World War 2, and woodworking. This is a known fact. Sure, it provides you a bunch of personal satisfaction, but it makes you infinitely more difficult to talk to at parties.

The woodworkers of the world have smooth, impenetrable brains, much like a properly sanded and lacquered chifforobe.
