I would say stress relief. I like creating something out of a piece of steel or brass and sometimes aluminum. Aluminum last because I fabricate aluminum for a living. Operating my dragline after working on it for years gives me a great joy of creating a working machine from raw materials. The gears are always tuning in my head scheming ways to build vintage earthmoving equipment. With the technologies of today, Nothing seems impossible to build with some inner motivation. Sure beats the crap out of hanging out in the bar after work psin my money down the drain.
