Refrigerator
Laptop
Stove
Garage door
House (painting, drywall, lighting, electrical, etc.)
Television
Clocks
Phone
Shoes
Clothing
Microwave
Coffee maker
Lawn mower

I mean, if you want to live a life where you work on everything you own, then cool. More power to you. To me, if you're at the point where you're doing all of your own repairs/maintenance on everything listed above, you might as well go live in the woods and live off the land. Personally, even though I know how to change my oil, I'd rather go pay the $20-40 to have someone else do it. My time is more valuable than that $20-40, as I'd rather spend that 30 - 45 minutes reading a good book in the waiting area or making phone calls or checking emails.

Different strokes.

My current hobby project is to make a functional replica of the Antikythera mechanism.  Does that count?


Naughty

A really cool thing to make! I personally would use a CAD program and have that shit made via CNC in the company machine shop...if I still worked for that company, and had no ethics about making shit for myself on the government's dime and the expected possibility of at least getting fired for that G-job. The idea of cutting round discs of metal and filing all those teeth bores me rigid. Then again, I'm sure that most people would be bored rigid by carving a piece of wood into something, which I actually enjoy. Different strokes, eh?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
