So don't just build piddley stuff.

There's a whole lot of "useful" "house" stuff that's useful to own,
but basically tedious to make. Worth doing if you want to keep things
off the floor, but there's no reward or real pleasure in making the
stuff. Do to omuch of this and anyone will get stale.

If you've always wanted to, make yourself a lute (conga drum, boat,
carved jester or whatever) Do something with no real point, other
than the pleasure of actually making it.

I'm just finishing off a small medieval ark - like this
http://www.early-oak.fsnet.co.uk/littleark1.htm
only half the size. It's of no real purpose, except that it's a
chance to make something with a "clamped front", an early precursor to
frame and panel construction.
