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

Wow, that is one nice workshop. The hello kitty bandsaw is the coolest thing I've seen in a while tbh, gives the shop a lot of personality.

Yeah, regarding space for woodworking, I'm currently making 3 Roman workbenches with removable legs, which will be used for an upcoming project in which I'll teach some buddies how to make a bow out of a (preselected) wooden plank. Ever got into bowmaking?

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!
